Biography

I joined the Humanitarian Health Research Initiative in August 2019 as a research fellow.  I am a public health physician, general practitioner, and medically trained epidemiologist. My previous roles include being a medical doctor and epidemiologist for health services in remote Australia and the World Health Organisation, and as convenor for the Master of Applied Epidemiology Program (Australia’s Field Epidemiology Training Program). My current role allows me to bring together my two greatest areas of interest, public and primary health in low resource settings. I work on a variety of projects including, maternal and neonatal health in Papua New Guinea and Sierra Leone, and pneumococcal maternal vaccine uptake. I am also a currently practising GP in Canberra.
