I am a research fellow at the National Centre for Education and Training on Addiction.

As a research psychologist, my main area of study is substance and behavioural addiction. My PhD thesis focused on the impact of sports betting marketing on young individuals. Additionally, I have conducted research on school-based bullying among Australian students.

My research interests in the alcohol and other drugs (AOD) sector are diverse. I am particularly interested in studying the psychosocial determinants of substance use, the ways in which young people view the harms of substances, and the prevalence of drug use in Australian society.
