I am a psychiatric nurse. I began work as a lecturer at Dublin City University in February 2007 having spent the last 7 years in Townsville.  I am committed to developing an environment conducive to recovery.

I have designed web sites since 1996 and have developed software packages to assist with learning drug calculations and creating and administering on-line tests and research instruments.

I have a wide range of research and clinical interests. My Honours thesis explored 'coping with voices'. I have published articles on this topic and others in a number of nursing journals, have presented at conferences and have contributed to a number of text books.
