Позиция:Lecturer

Looking sideways at things is what I do best. I'm a very experienced (and published) academic and popular writer, teacher, and researcher who started life as a medical historian and ran with it. I have a long track record of fulltime work in the healthcare public sector, in academic and clinical higher education, healthcare community-managed organisations, and not-for-profits. I can plan, project-manage, liaise, argue, listen, problem-solve, publish, and probably find where you hid the office stapler. I've also recently completed psychology qualifications to 4th year level, and completed a Grad Cert in Counselling. I believe in God, the Oxford comma, and the value of a good lie-down.

Позиция:Environmental Social Scientist

I am an environmental social scientist who employs participatory and interdisciplinary socio-ecological methods to build adaptive capacity in diverse communities for climate change, coastal hazards, and the sustainable management of natural resources. Over the course of a dozen years in the conservation field, I have traveled throughout the United States and Mexico to perform interviews, facilitate focus groups and workshops, and conduct survey research to inform management plans, write scientific articles, and engage primarily rural natural resource dependent communities.
