As Director of the Division of Professional Learning (DPL), I work with a team of coordinators and lecturers to provide professional learning opportunities for people who would like to keep up-to-date with new innovations in teaching and learning and social work practices.

I am passionate about forming partnerships and collaborations with people and organisations (local, regional and international) that result in win-win outcomes. I believe that when you share knowledge, it increases a thousand fold; and then, there is so much more to go around.

My research interests revolve around issues of inclusion, diversity, professional development, international education and distance education.

The DPL hosts many conferences, workshops and courses highlighting topics of interest in both education and social work. Our support networks extend far and wide and we contribute to debates and knowledge dissemination at a global level.

I get a real buzz when our students and program participants have learning experiences that make their hearts sing – that to me, makes it all worthwhile.
