I am a research fellow at the National Centre for Education and Training on Addiction.

My main areas of study are substance and behavioural addictions. My PhD thesis focused on the impact of sports betting marketing on young individuals. Additionally, I have conducted research on school-based bullying among Australian students.

My research interests in the alcohol and other drugs (AOD) sector are diverse. I am particularly interested in studying the epidemiological and developmental determinants of substance use—particularly methamphetamine and cannabis.
