My story

Empowering Sydney through leadership

I am a community leader, lawyer and advocate with expertise in law, mediation, academia and public speaking. My work is about justice and community empowerment.

I have been a legal practitioner for more than two decades, giving guidance and representation across a wide range of legal matters with a passion for advocacy.

Since 1997 I have worked with newly arrived migrants and refugees, first at the Inner West Migrant Resource Centre and then with Western Sydney Area Health. Today I teach at TAFE and Australian universities, and research migration and AI ethics.
