I have over thirty years’ experience in the design and delivery of health and human services. My work focuses on using co-design to bridge the gap between evidence and real-world application, ensuring that solutions are practical, inclusive, and beneficial - particularly for priority populations and those living in rural and remote communities. I am also deeply interested in how research can inform public policy to drive equitable outcomes and lasting improvements for all members of society.
