My research interests include: - promoting equity in public health approaches through a social health model - recognising neoliberalism, biopolitics and late capitalist drivers of health decision-making and critiquing individual responsibility for modifiable risk factors for disease. I seek understanding about how socio-political determinants of health operate as structural barriers to health promotion.

I aim to achieve this through my research practice focused on consumer engagement using qualitative methodologies and co-designing options for research translation.

I am the Post Doctoral Researcher for an Australian Research Council Discovery Project. I have also received competitive research funding from the Flinders Foundation, the Flinders Health and Medical Research Institute and was recently awarded a Women's Health Research Translation Network fellowship a scheme within the Medical Research Future Fund.

My research expertise includes women's health, alcohol consumption, social class theory, lay epidemiology (disease prevention and risk), wellness culture and sober curiosity. I am also developing a portfolio of research that explores the workplace as a social determinant of health.

I am a Research Fellow within the Research Centre for Public Health, Equity and Human Flourishing. I explore how systems and structures impact women’s alcohol consumption and health-related decision-making.

I have expertise in community engagement and co-designing practice and policy responses for applied health outcomes.

This have strengths in research translation for non-academic settings including writing for The Conversation, Croakey Health Media and MJA Insight. I am a featured expert in The Age and the Sydney Morning Herald and I have conducted interviews on ABC/FM radio including the Life Matters podcast for ABC RN.

I am an executive committee member of the Women’s Health Research Translation Network (SA) and the Australian Health Promotion Association of Australia (SA).
