I have worked in disability and health services as a dietitian and a leader/manager for close to 40 years. Supervising dietitians, other allied health staff and team leaders has been integral to my practice. As a dietitian I worked with adults with intellectual and other disabilities in supported accommodation and the community, particularly those with swallowing problems. I have worked in many teams to support those around an individual implement nutrition care. 

My leadership experience includes work as a Team Leader and Program Manager in government and not for profit organisations for 15 years. This work spans people management such as staff recruitment and retention as well as performance management including difficult conversations, team development and organisational skills including change management, strategic planning, use of influence, networking and managing up.
