About the Researcher

My background includes many years working in the social services sector as a community worker, researcher, and educator. I have completed a Post Grad Diploma in Social Work through Victoria University (Wellington, NZ) along with a BA (Sociology) and a Masters in Social Work through Massey University (Palmerston North, NZ). I have two adult children, and my partner and I live in the Hawkes Bay (NZ).
