Vicki Dodds

AFOM Director

Vicki Dodds is the daughter of a veteran and understands the difficulties living in a family with a parent with PTSD.

She is married with three daughters and her work involves assisting everyday people who have difficulties with their life, and navigating Government departments.

She is currently undertaking a double degree in Criminology and Law.

She is excited about the Foundation "as I learn more about research, I realise how much more needs to be done in this area, and done independently".
