I am the Placement Coordinator for postgraduate psychology students, coordinating all placements and providing support to students and supervisors. I lecture in Evidence Based Interventions and am passionate about teaching, supervising, and mentoring the next generation of psychologists.

I am also a Research Fellow for Professor Tracey Wade under her NHMRC Investigator grant, developing and testing transdiagnostic approaches to early intervention for eating disorders in youth.

My research is focused on body image in a variety of clinical and health settings, including eating disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, peripartum women, and endometriosis. I am interested and have expertise in co-design and qualitative methodology.
