The focus of my career has been on promoting the rights of marginalised people especially those who live with disability. For the past 13 years I have designed and delivered sexual and reproductive health (SRH) education programs for  Family Planning NSW, an Australian NGO. I am currently responsible for the pilot of a post basic SRH course for nurses in Papua New Guinea. I am also supporting a family health organisation in Fiji to develop a 3 year plan to build their capacity to deliver a SRH education program.

I am interested in the effectiveness of human rights based education on the work practices of professionals. I would like to conduct research that considers the impact of education that raises awareness and provides strategies for action to support the sexual rights of people with disabilty.
