I am a health sociologist with expertise in communicable diseases and sexual health. My work focuses on the social dimensions of health, particularly among marginalised populations in Australia. I hold a Bachelor of Arts (Honours Class I) and a Master of Public Health from the University of Sydney, and PhD from UNSW Sydney. My doctoral research examined the socio‑sexual impacts of the COVID‑19 pandemic among gay and bisexual men in Australia. In recognition of this work, I was awarded the inaugural Jack Bradley Scholarship in 2022. My research experience spans a range of communicable diseases, including HIV, COVID‑19, mpox, and other sexually transmissible infections. I have worked across projects involving gay and bisexual men, people living with HIV, and people who use drugs, using both qualitative and quantitative research methods. From 2017 to 2020, I worked at the Australian Federation of AIDS Organisations (now Health Equity Matters). I am currently employed as a Research Associate at the Centre for Social Research in Health, Faculty of Arts, Design & Architecture, UNSW Sydney.
