I am a public health nutritionist and dietitian, currently working as a Research Program Co-ordinator for the Health Workforce Optimisation Program. I joined The University of Queensland’s Centre for the Business and Economics of Health (CBEH) in 2021. I bring prior 10 years’ experience from the not-for-profit sector with skills in community engagement, project management and design and delivery of training programs. I have experience in food policy and program development and implementation and am particularly passionate about preventive health. I believe it is crucial for programs and policies that are evidence-based and subject to ongoing evaluation and quality improvement. I draw immense satisfaction from supporting the Centre with research development, delivery and translation for meaningful impact to the health system.

I am currently on maternity leave and will return to CBEH in 2025.
