My career in the health sector, particularly in mental health nursing, has equipped me with broad professional experience that has shaped my values and informed my approach to clinical supervision. I am a credentialed mental health nurse and dialectical behaviour therapy-trained health professional. I am deeply committed to clinical supervision, safe workplace culture, evidence-based practice, and health research.

I have been working in mental health nursing since 2019, across acute inpatient and community mental health settings. I have held clinical leadership positions, including Associate Nurse Manager in acute inpatient services at Monash Health and Peninsula Health. I currently work as a clinical lead at a community mental health centre. These roles have provided me with extensive clinical and leadership experience, as well as valuable insight into the operational aspects of the nursing workforce.

Clinical lead at a Primary Health Network-funded community mental health centre, where I support a team of nurses, allied health professionals and peer workers.

My approach to clinical supervision is based on creating a positive environment that promotes reflective practice and supports supervisees’ professional development and competence. This approach is guided by the five principles of clinical supervision outlined in the Clinical Supervision Framework for Mental Health Nurses. I tailor the supervision model to align with the supervisee’s goals and focus areas, as I believe the chosen model should enrich the supervisee’s experience.
