I specialise in social research in the field of HIV prevention and sexual health. I am a qualitative health researcher and sociologist and have worked at the Centre for Social Research in Health (CSRH) since 2018, where I completed my PhD (2018-2022). I am a Research Fellow at CSRH.

My program of research is primarily focused on how communities and health professionals engage with HIV and sexual health prevention, care, and surveillance. My research aims to better shape health policy, care, and service delivery that recognises, affirms, and supports individuals and communities to live well. I particularly focus on LGBTQ+ populations, especially gay and bisexual men, along with community-based organisations and professionals serving these populations. I have also led qualitative research on mpox in Australia, and I have an interest in emerging sexual health issues. I draw on fields of study including the sociology of health and illness, pharmaceutical studies, critical public health, data justice, science & technology studies, and the sociology of gender and sexuality.
