About Me

I have a diverse array of personal and professional experiences that flavour my social work practice. My professional background is in adult mental health in a number of settings including forensics, psychiatric inpatient care, adult corrections, and community hospital care. I am a passionate soccer supporter, player, referee and coach. I enjoy spending my down time outdoors fishing, camping, on the water and playing soccer.
