She was Associate Dean of Research in the Faculty where she fostered positive collaboration between the Faculty and community agencies, enhancing and supporting the Faculty's mission of practice-informed research and research-informed practice. Her leadership in promoting the Research Institute for Evidence-Based Social Work and the Centre for Applied Social Research has led to many excellent research initiatives.

Her research is focused on bullying; cyber abuse/cyber bullying and cyber counselling; school-based interventions for students with learning disabilities; and social work education and clinical practice.
