Chief Executive Officer

Quality Systems Officer
Prior to commencing at CARHDS in April 2006 I worked at the Institute for Aboriginal Development (IAD) in Alice Springs. I was at IAD for 14yrs and during this time gained invaluable experience working within a community controlled registered training organisation.

The health sector is a new area for me and I am thankful that I have been given the opportunity to work again in an organisation that is ultimately working towards improving the quality of life for Aboriginal people.

The main purpose of my position is to record and report on training activities against key performance indicators set by the funding bodies and ensure the organisations compliance against the Australian Quality Training Framework (AQTF).

Senior Administration Officer
Before joining CARHDS in June 2006 as the Senior Administration Officer,
I worked at the Institute for Aboriginal Development (IAD) in Alice Springs,
for 6 years. I originally started as an Administration Assistant in the Language and Culture Centre, as part of the Arrernte Language in Schools. I then became the Personal Assistant to the Manager of the Language Centre. I was also involved in helping coordinate the Aboriginal Interpreter and Translating Service.

Due to a restructure at IAD I then became the Personal Assistant for the Manager of the Education and Training Unit and gained invaluable experience working within a community controlled registered training organisation.

Health Literacy Educator
Hello. I have been with CARHDS since May 2004.

I’m a teacher but I have also done office work and travel consulting. I have lived in Alice Springs for over 15 years. I am very glad that my daughter and grandson live here too.

I grew up in Melbourne but I love living in the desert. Before moving to Alice, I spent many years living in Tucson, Arizona in the heart of the Sonoran Desert.

My interests include personal development and life-long learning. I love to read and relax.

I have taught literacy and numeracy at Yipirinya School, IAD (Institute for Aboriginal Development) and Centralian College before coming to CARHDS.

I love my job and really enjoy having the chance to travel around this marvellous country and meet the wonderful people who live here
