I am a research officer working across broad areas of health and law. I have a Bachelor of Arts (Honours Class I) and a Master of Public Health from the University of Sydney. I also commenced my doctoral research at UNSW in September 2020 (currently on program leave until September 2024). My PhD research focuses on the socio-sexual impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic among gay and bisexual men in Australia. In 2022, I was the inaugural recipient of the Jack Bradley Scholarship (see Awards). I have worked across projects focused among marginalised communities in Australia (e.g. gay and bisexual men, people living with HIV, people who use drugs), different communicable diseases (i.e., HIV, COVID-19, mpox and other sexually transmissible infections), and using qualitative and quantiative research methods. Between 2017-2020 I worked at the Australian Federation of AIDS Organisations (now Health Equity Matters). I am currently employed as a Research Officer at the School of Law, Society and Criminology as well as the Centre for Social Research in Health, both at UNSW Sydney.
