I am a researcher in health and social science, specialising in qualitative and quantitative methodologies to enhance community health outcomes.
Currently, as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Behavioral Science Unit, UNSW, I focus on exploring patient and health professional perspectives on integrating new technologies into practice, particularly spatial sequencing technology in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer and genomic newborn screening. My work emphasises co-design approaches and translational research, aiming to improve healthcare delivery through patient-centered, evidence-based solutions.
My passion for advancing public health, especially for underserved communities, drives my commitment to healthcare innovation and implementation science.
