I am originally from the state of New Jersey in North East America, situated five minutes from the city of Manhattan, New York. In 1978 I joined the United States Air Force, specialising in administration and human resource.

Later, I was employed by the U.S. Federal Government, Internal Revenue Service within Tax Fraud Investigations. I assisted with special agents in researching acts of tax fraud.

In 1987 I decided to travel to a part of the world that was unfamiliar to me, which was Australia. I arrived as a resident and obtained employment with the City of Stirling, West Australia as Information Systems Officer. My duties were to maintain and control the majority of information relating to the operations of the City Council.

March 1989 was the year I began employment with the University of Western Australia as Records Officer.

In September 1995 I took up employment with the University of Southern Queensland as Records Officer. During this time I took up a project assignment for one year within the Kumbari/Ngurpai lag Higher Education Centre. This allowed me to gain knowledge of indigenous Australian culture from not only the higher education sector, but also from social and economic perspectives.

My present position as Administration Officer at the Equal Opportunity Office started in August 1998. It is a pleasure to work at the Equal Opportunity Office where I can assist people with their concerns and develop and implement programs to bring about awareness of equity issues. I have been involved in the activities listed on the menu above.
