Biography

I was born in Armidale, but grew up and went to school in Tamworth before beginning university study back in Armidale in 1979. I graduated from UNE with a BA/Dip.Ed. (English/History) in 1983 and entered a 37-year career with the NSW Department of Education. I taught in several regional, rural, and remote locations across NSW, including as Head Teacher English/History at Glen Innes High School and Deputy Principal at Toormina High School. I retired from the DoE in 2021 as the last Principal of Duval High School, and co-Principal of the newly amalgamated Armidale Secondary College. As part of my leadership development, I also completed an M.Ed. (School Leadership) at UNE in 2017. I started working at UNE as a casual marker in early 2021, before being placed on a fixed-term contract as a relieving Unit Coordinator in the Master of Teaching program (EDUC540.) I was successful in applying for a permanent position as Lecturer in Contextual Studies (Teaching Focus) in June 2022.

The University of New England respects and acknowledges that its people, courses and facilities are built on land, and surrounded by a sense of belonging, both ancient and contemporary, of the world's oldest living culture. In doing so, UNE values and respects Indigenous knowledge systems as a vital part of the knowledge capital of Australia. We recognise the strength, resilience and capacity of the Aboriginal community and pay our respects to the Elders past, present and future.
