Researcher

My Expertise

My expertise is in health equity research. I work collaboratively with health services to identify and explain the causes of health inequities. As part of an interdisciplinary team, I support health services in taking strategic and evidence-based action on inequalities, and conduct research to evaluate the impact of implementation. I also have a strong focus on people and places. My work uses community-centred and place-approaches that involve genuine collaboration and build capacities among people who experience disadvantage, discrimination, social or economic exclusion. My goal is to contribute to addressing systemic barriers to health care and strengthening communities through applied and participatory research.
