Senior Lecturer in Law
Murdoch University

I am Chairperson of the Law Reform Commission of Western Australia and a Senior Lecturer in Law at Murdoch University.

As a practising lawyer, I specialise in the area of refugee and immigration law. I graduated from UWA in 1992 and worked for Legal Aid and the Youth Legal Service. At Murdoch University I helped set up the clinical legal education program and community legal centre, SCALES.

In 2009 I was awarded the Sir Ronald Wilson Leadership award in recognition of my social justice work.
