I am currently a PhD candidate and Associate Lecturer in the School of Health Sciences at UNSW Sydney.
My research investigates the impact of dyskinesia in people with Parkinson’s disease, aiming to enhance understanding of the condition and contribute to the development of effective therapies for its management and fall prevention.
