Professor Freshwater has held senior University positions in the UK and Australia, most recently as Vice-Chancellor of the University of Western Australia. She has spent several decades working in mental health research, and contributing to hundreds of publications. Fortunately she is no stranger to challenge; given the current external environment she will be straight in the deep end of life at The University of Auckland.
