I am currently completing a PhD on identity, well-being, and connection to place.  This research documents places, stories, and individual lived experiences to explore notions of Aboriginal Identity, well-being, and connections to Country. Examining connections between the stories and lived experiences of Stolen Generation survivors and their families, with the history of forced land dispossession and land degradation, from 1900 to 2025.

I also hold postgraduate qualifications in Environmental Management and Adult and Tertiary Education.
