I am a full-time researcher at Cancer Council SA, leading projects on unmet supportive cancer care needs in South Australia, cancer risk perceptions, physical activity and lifestyle, population health surveys and an annual South Australian Cancer Research Symposium. I have supervised placement, honours and masters students across Psychology, Public Health, and Physiotherapy. I am an Adjunct Associate Lecturer at Flinders University in the College of Education, Psychology, and Social Work, and the College of Medicine and Public Health. I am also an Adjunct Associate Lecturer at Adelaide University in the School of Allied Health & Human Performance. I also serve as an ethics committee member for the South Australian Department for Health and Wellbeing (DHW).

I completed my PhD in Psychology at Flinders University in 2022, investigating strategies to reduce soft drink consumption using nudges, supervised by Prof Eva Kemps, Prof Ivanka Prichard, and Prof Marika Tiggemann.

Previously, I was a Research Associate and Casual Academic at Flinders University, where I worked as a Learning Advisor and Tutor/Marker across Psychology and Health Science topics.
