I'm a postdoctoral researcher, university lecturer, and PhD supervisor. My research at UNSW focuses on oncology, and especially paediatric oncology and AYA:s. My research interests within oncology are sleep, implementation and intervention studies, palliative care, and the gut-brain axis. My clinical background is in neuropsychology, so cognition and behaviour are important aspects of my studies. My previous research was primarily quantitative, and I have experience with a broad range of statistical methods, including cross-sectional and longitudinal data. Additionally, I'm experienced with evidence synthesis and systematic reviews. My studies at UNSW will develop my skills in implementation research, as well as in qualitative and mixed methods and Delphi surveys.

Alongside my projects at the Department of Medicine & Health, I have ongoing collaborations with researchers in the US, Sweden, and the Netherlands. 


My Grants

The Recapture Life study was funded by a Cancer Council New South Wales Program Grant. I have additionally received a personal grant from the Swedish Childhood Cancer Fund.
