I am a lecturer in Social Work across three programs. I have 20 years’ experience in Child Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) primarily focussed on evidence-based assessment/interventions, risk analysis, and supervision. I hold extensive experience in routine and complex case formulation, including neuro-development, attachment and trauma.
I frequently use my time to support charities, including the completion of human rights assessments for refugees and asylum seekers with Social Workers without Borders; the tree of hope foundation who support families fund vital healthcare for sick and dying children and One Small Thing who support trauma recovery for women and their children in the justice system. I am a strong supporter of activism in social work, to bring about change from the ground up.
I have strong commitment to elevating knowledge regarding the harms of hostility, and inequality. I share relational knowledge and professional experiences in my teaching, nurturing students to gain the skills needed to make a difference to the people they work with and their communities. I teach social work theories, feminist research methods and philosophy, leadership in social work theory and contexts and organisations. I offer support to the broader school of Education, health and social care regarding my areas of interest.
I am currently completing a PhD focusing on Women, Poverty and Social work, and have another research project focusing on student’s knowledge regarding ecological Social Work.
