I have worked as a clinical researcher in mental health since 2004, primarily at the InsideOut Institute for Eating Disorders, a collaboration between the University of Sydney and Sydney Local Health District, and The Children's Hospital at Westmead. My key areas of research include lived experience research processes, eating disorders, neurodiversity and LGBTQA+ mental health.
I am part of several research special interest groups that promote mental well-being in the creative and performing arts, lived experience co-design, women-centred research, queer-centered research and neurodiversity awareness in academic work. I have presented at over 20 international and national conferences and contributed to the authorship of over 70 academic papers. Current study and a brief publication overview below.
