I'm a sixth generation Pakeha New Zealander of Scottish descent, and a newb here as of June 2013.
I have an undergraduate degree in Theatre Production from The Victorian College of the Arts in Melbourne, Australia, and a Doctoral Degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Auckland. My Doctoral thesis involved a qualitative investigation into the desistance processes of men convicted of sexual offences against children following treatment. I work as a registered clinical psychologist for the Department of Corrections in Auckland, NZ. I am also a member of the Auckland Zen Centre, and have in interest in animist and pagan spiritual traditions.
