I am a Research Associate and Provisional Psychologist (Clinical) in the School of Clinical Medicine at University of New South Wales. My work focuses on implementation science, integrated care, and health system strengthening within complex paediatric and mental health settings.
I partner with children and families to translate evidence into practice through co-design, mixed-methods evaluation, and the application of contemporary implementation frameworks, with the aim of improving patient-centred care for those affected by rare, neurodevelopmental, and complex conditions.
I hold a Bachelor of Psychology (Honours) and a PhD from UNSW, where I co-developed evidence-based positive psychology resources to enhance psychosocial outcomes for families living with severe neurodevelopmental conditions. I am currently completing a Master of Clinical Psychology and am nearing registration as a Clinical Psychologist, positioning me to further integrate clinical practice and implementation science to drive system-level impact.
