[3] Her work has seen her become a pivotal figure in the reclamation of cultural and artistic practices of South Eastern Australian Aboriginals.[4][5]
She began working as an Aboriginal educator in her home town in 1978 which provided her with a solid base from which to develop her career in promoting and supporting South East Aboriginal histories, culture and knowledge. [6]
