Career Summary

Biography

I am a research assistant at the Centre for Rural and Remote Mental Health at the University of Newcastle. I am interested in the upstream factors that influence our health, mental health and satisfaction with life. Currently my work focuses on the community factors that play a role in mental 'healthiness' and mental illness, including the social determinants of health, and what can be done in communities to influence them for the better. 

My background is in molecular biology and the evolution of antimicrobial resistance.
