I commenced my education by receiving a scholarship to study Marine Biology at James Cook University in Townsville, North Queensland. In my second year of study, I realised that my personality deeply desired connecting with people and that I was not destined for a career of scientific research and laboratory work. However, I was so in love with Mother Nature that I completed my undergraduate Science degree with majors in Marine Biology and Zoology but turned down an offer of an Honours placement.
My volunteer work with the Department of Environment involved educating young people about the various ecological habitats of the North Queensland region, and it was this experience of working with groups that developed my passion for education, and led me back to university to become a registered teacher. I completed a Bachelor of Education with a major in Chemistry, which opened a wonderful teaching career both in Australia and England as a senior Biology and Chemistry teacher. I worked in middle-management positions for curriculum development and pastoral care both in Australia and England.
It was through a decade of working with adolescents that I realised our Sexuality Education programs had major gaps and were not meeting the needs of our young people. My conversations and work with young people and their families, developed my personal interest and passion for human sexuality, along with my love of counselling.
It was when I paused my career in 2009 to start a family, that I used this transition time to embark on a new career path as a Sexologist. I completed my postgraduate studies part-time while our children were at primary school and completed a Master of Science in Medicine (HIV, STI and Sexual Health) Counselling through the University of Sydney. I started my private practice in Townsville, where I provide therapeutic services to individuals and couples experiencing difficulties in sexual function, identity, orientation, behaviour and relationships.
