Brief Introduction:

My ancestry includes Wirungu and Narrunga from South Australia’s west coast and my mother’s ancestry includes Irish and Scottish.

As an adult I have mainly lived and studied in Adelaide, and I spent my childhood growing up in the ACT and NSW.

I started my undergraduate studies at the University of South Australia where I completed a Bachelor of Teaching and Bachelor of Education (In service).
