Lecturer

PhD Public Health, The University of Sydney

MSc. Physical Activity and Health, Loughborough University (UK)

BSc. (Hons) Physical Education, Sports Science and Recreation Management,��Loughborough University (UK)��

Medicine & Health

School of Population Health

My expertise is in physical activity, sport,��falls prevention, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health and public health research. I am a Senior Lecturer in the School of Population Health at UNSW Sydney and commenced a Heart Foundation Postdoctoral Fellowship in July 2021.

My research examines physical health and social and emotional wellbeing and the impact of physical activity and sport across the lifespan, particularly among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. My vision is to generate, in partnership with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander researchers and stakeholders, high quality evidence of how physical activity can improve the health and wellbeing of Indigenous Australians across the life-course. I lead epidemiological and community evaluation research studies in collaboration with multiple academic institutions and community groups, including Aboriginal Community Controlled Health Services. I have undertaken government consultancy projects and evaluation for the Australian and NSW Governments and secondment placements within large Australian NGOs to translate research into practice.��
