I have worked as an Alcohol and Other Drug Worker (AODW) at The Ted Noffs Foundation in Sydney, Australia.

I have conducted research a number of times. My focus has been gender issues often related to body image, feminism and masculinity. 

I have worked in many different settings and with a variety of different cultural, religious and socio-economic groups.

I initiated and ran projects such as a pre-natal support group for pregnant women.

I ran parent training groups, did intellectual assessments and conducted family therapy.
