I’ve worked as a teacher, researcher, trainer, writer and advocate in a range of different environments, and currently provide services in a freelance capacity. I’ve designed and delivered best-practice professional development training for health and human service providers, and other organisations. I’ve published extensively – books, feature articles, web content, and an on-line resource. My primary aim in all the work I do is to create a more inclusive, welcoming, and equitable society for LGBTIQ people – one that celebrates and values our unique contribution.
