I joined ANU in 1985 and worked as an administrator in RSES for 12 years after which time I resigned from ANU and ventured into the private sector. After about 12 months I returned to ANU and worked through the ANU Casual Employment Office for 18 months and eventually secured a permanent position as the Dean's Assistant in the Mathematical Sciences Institute, a position I held for 6 years. Last year my husband and I left our respective jobs and moved to the South Coast where we now live. At the moment I am doing relief work again through the ANU Casual Employment Office and enjoying the flexibility of being able to work and take time off when it suits me.

I had just purchased my first digital camera when I heard that ANU was holding a photographic calendar competition. So, not being an experienced photographer, I thought I would take some photos, see how they turned out and enter a few "just for a bit of fun" not for one moment thinking that any of them would be chosen, as I wasn't sure what the judges would be looking for. I tried to capture images which would portray campus life.
