Welcome to my blog

Here begins the chronicles of my journey through a masters degree in Health Education and Active Living. A testament to my own pursuits of health and wellness and my endeavors to engage individuals and communities in re-framing the way we understand health and health education.

And then sometimes life takes you on a very different course of events!

I know it's been awhile, but my blogging was interrupted by a move across the world to Australia. Despite being more than a little disruptive to my career, schooling, and view of health; my move down under has provided me with an abundance of new challenges and exciting journeys in Health, Health Education, & Public Health. So on that note, I'll pick back up my blogging torch and fuel on.

Upcoming Bluestocking Week events in Adelaide



With Bluestocking week quickly approaching I wanted to share an invite for all my colleagues in South Australia to join us in celebrating women in education. Please share with anyone interested in joining us.


Dear colleague,

We are Shelley Pezy and Jennifer Fane and we are your representatives on the NTEU’s Women’s Action Committee.

Shelley has worked in a professional role at the University of Adelaide and been an active union member for 25 years. Jennifer is a lecturer in education at Flinders University who has recently arrived in Australia and has continued her long standing union involvement with her appointment to the Women’s Action Committee.

Every year NTEU members hold Blue Stocking Week, a celebration of women’s participation and achievements in higher education and an opportunity to focus on issues that matter to women.

This year, your union is hosting a fund-raising dinner for the Working Women’s Centre on Wednesday 13th August at 7pm. The dinner will be hosted by Janet Giles, immediate past Secretary of SA Unions, and will feature guest speaker Heather Margrison, coordinator of Moving Forward - a support group for women who have survived domestic violence.

The dinner will be held upstairs at Lemongrass Bistro, 289 Rundle Street, Adelaide. Tickets cost $40 each and can be booked or online here.
We hope you will be able to join us for an enjoyable evening.

Yours in solidarity,
Shelley Pezy & Jennifer Fane
NTEU Women's Action Committee
