Sandra was awarded a Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) in 1983. She graduated with a Master of Audiology degree in 1992.  She had worked prior to this as an Audiometrist at Dilworth Audiology Clinic for 5 years. Once she qualified as an Audiologist, Sandra worked for twelve years at two large audiology clinics: Dilworth Audiology and Bay Audiology.
