I am currently practicing as a Family Dispute Resolution practitioner within the KidsAreFirst team and engage in pre-intake/assessment interviews with clients; sole and co-practitioner sessions and also child informed mediation sessions. I also supervise the workers within the team, facilitate groups and work 1:1 with clients.
My qualifications include Undergraduate and Masters Degrees (by coursework and research) in Disability Studies from Flinders University; a Postgraduate Diploma in Counselling (Rehabilitation) and a Postgraduate Certificate in Mediation (Family) from UniSA. I also have a Cert V1 in Training and Assessment and have completed short courses/workshops in areas of disability, counselling and mediation.
I have been working in the KidsAreFirst team since 2006. Prior to that I was employed for 5 years by Relationships Australia SA as the Co-ordinator of the Children’s Contact Service. Other areas I have worked in have been as a support person for children with intellectual and physical disabilities in a mainstream private school, in hospitality – I was a publican for 10 years – and also in retail, management and viticulture areas.
