Wen to to Brizzy for a year to start a B.AppSc. Finished that off at Canberra uni in 1992. Moved to Wollongong in 1993 to do my MSc (Nutrition & Dietetics). Completed that in December 2004 and moved to Orange to start my first job as a Community Dietitian - vowed never to study again and take my hat off to anyone whose studying as a mature aged student!
Moved to Newcastle in 1996 to start work as a Clinical Dietitian at John Hunter Hospital and have been in Newey ever since. Currently working at the Mater Hospital 2 days/week as a Clinical Dietitian, having gone back to work in 02/2008 after 12 months off on maternity leave. Married Phil (a Pom whose greatest loves are beer, soccer, his kids, God & me - not necessarily in that order!!!!) in November 2003.
Have travelled back to the UK with Phil to visit his family a couple of times (with the mandatory stop-overs to Europe and Vietnam!) and have also done a couple of short term mission trips to Russia (in 2002 & 2005). We have 2 little boys of our own -Jack (10/2005) and Sam (02/2007) and a foster daughter Heidi (06/1994) who has been in our care since 05/2007 (long-term placement).
Phil & I had a ball as Youth leaders at our Church for about 8 years (before kids) but have very little spare time on our hands these days parenting a teenager and 2 little bubs. Weekdays are now filled with work, day care, homework, kindergym, soccer training and gym and weekends are filled with swimming lessons, soccer games and Church. Life is busy but Iwouldn't have it any other way.
Cheers!
Maria
