I offer previous experience in governance roles including the ability to hold my ground on issues that I deem need me to fight to the end. An extensive community work background coupled with case management work for the union give me lived experience dealing with inequality, prejudice and unfair practices. I have a personal focus on taking a rights-based approach. A career as an academic prepares me to undertake research, seek out information and engage in evidence-based decision-making.
