School of Population Health

I am an Early-Career Postdoctoral Fellow and Accredited Practising Dietitian with expertise in nutrition and non-communicable diseases.

I obtained my PhD at the University of Sydney, where I conducted research on dietary patterns, nutritional and disease biomarkers. I have experience in various research methodologies, including clinical trials, systematic reviews, network meta-analysis, machine learning modeling, and qualitative research.

My current research focuses on the intersection of precision medicine and implementation science. The primary objective is to optimise the translation of precision oncology into routine care, ultimately advancing the understanding and application of personalised healthcare approaches in disease prevention and treatment.
