My Expertise

My expertise is using implementation science to optimise the uptake, quality, and sustainment of community-based interventions in areas of hepatitis C, mental health, domestic and family violence and injury. I use mixed methods research to co-design, implement and evaluate evidence-based interventions that enhance the social determinants of health for marginalised populations. My work has translated to better health, educational and social outcomes for youth and women domestically and internationally, demonstrating significant transdisciplinary impact.
