Facilitator

I am an experienced leader in the domestic violence field, specialising in interventions with persons using violence (PuV). I lead a team of PuV intervention specialist workers, overseeing the Responsible Men program at YFS Ltd in Logan, and I’m currently the Secretary of Services and Practitioners for the Elimination of Abuse QLD (SPEAQ). I continue to facilitate men’s behaviour intervention groups, provide clinical supervision and training to domestic violence practitioners, and organise a statewide Community of Practice for the PuV intervention workforce.

I’m passionate about DFV prevention and responses within the LGBTIQA+ community. As a founding member of Queer and Trans Workers Against Violence (QTWAV), I sit on the management committee for Diverse Voices and deliver training to build the capacity of practitioners, services, and community members to respond to DFV in LGBTIQA+ communities.

Coming from an academic background, I graduated with a PhD in Criminology in 2018 and remain a Visiting Fellow at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) Centre for Justice.
