“Since graduating from UNSW,
I have had the privilege of
working for the Aboriginal
legal service located on my
traditional land. I completed
a PhD and was also an
academic at Southern Cross
University for nearly 20 years.
But my most challenging and
rewarding occupation is raising
three intelligent, sensitive and
creative children.” “The NSW public sector
continues to benefit from more
than a few UNSW Aboriginal
Law graduates.” “Coming from the far north
coast, a city university was a
big deal for me. UNSW Law’s
electives focusing on human
rights were my light on the
horizon. My best memory is
the European Law Students
Association International
Trade Law Moot, when my
team mate and I spent three
days and nights finalising our
submissions!” “My graduation is my most
enduring memory of UNSW,
with my mum, nan and extended
family. It reflects my family’s
strength in supporting me and
the Law Faculty’s commitment
in supporting and recognising
Aboriginal people in Law. I now
work as a senior solicitor at
Legal Aid NSW in the Aboriginal
Services Branch.”
