Summary
As an experienced health professional, I am dedicated to the public sector and initiatives that protect the wellbeing of our community. My career is a tapestry of individual care, family therapy, health management, child protection, and quality/service-system improvements, all of which have led to successful preventative health outcomes. These achievements directly reflect my belief in delivering health care that is sensitive, empathic, effective, culturally safe, and, most importantly, represents a partnership approach. I firmly believe that this collaborative approach is critical to leading and delivering high-quality prevention strategies and encouraging the contributions of all stakeholders in the process.
