I began working at the University of Tasmania in 2005, when I was hired to develop the Outdoor Education Teaching Specialization in the Centre for Human Movement (Faculty of Education). I relocated to the Hobart campus in 2008 after my maternity leave and am currently working in the general Faculty of Education. Prior to my appointment at UTAS, I taught from 1999-2003 in the School of Outdoor Recreation, Parks and Tourism at Lakehead University in Canada and the University of Boston (1997-1998). Before working in university settings, I spent many years working as an outdoor educator at Outward Bound and the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS)
