I am an honoury research fellow in the Australian Institute of Health Innovation and a senior research fellow in virtual care at the University of Sydney. In my current role, I manage a large research team and external stakeholders to scope, implement and evaluate a telehealth enhanced model of best practive for residential aged care homes and general pracitioners. I utilise quantitative and qualitative and co-design methods in my research, and have led several systematic reviews. 

In my capacity as a Lecturer, I have been in charge of undergraduate units in Psychology (Design and Statistics, Foundations, and Cognition), and post graduate units for the Masters of Research.  I also have delivered several guest lectures on undergraduate units in Psychology such as Perception and Cognition.

I am a tutor on the BClinSci course: Foundations of Learning, Communication and Teamwork and a Masters of Public Health unit: System Science in Healthcare. 

I supervise two PhD students who are looking at decision making in emergency settings, barriers to diabetes care for the CALD population, and the GP/patient relationship, respectively. 

I have supervised several students from Psychology and Medicine who are undertaking empirical research as part of their undergradute, postgraduate and higher degree research programs. 

I worked previously as a medical sonographer working at tertiary hospitals and private practices. 

I am interested in a range of topics related to health systems, digital health and patient safety. Specifically, the human factors involved in digital health and simulation based training. I am also interested in improving healthcare accessibilty and equity for vulnerable populations and those living in rural and remote regions. I am also interested in understanding the factors that contribute to resiliance in healthcare such as stakeholder relations, teamwork, leadership. In this work, I take a co-design approach that involves providers and consumers to ensure that the research is relevant 

As a cognitive psychologist and previous medical sonographer my research interests also lie in patient saftey, and medical image perception. I have worked in the context of human factors especially with regards to the differences between novices and experts. I am also interested in the human factors impacted by the human/machine collaboration, such as vigilance and situation awareness. 

I regularly present my research findings to external stakeholders and the health industry.

I am a speaker at "Macquarie in a Day" and at a number of High School Careers events.

I serve as a reviewer for journals such as Nature Scientific Reports, Attention, Perception and Psychophysics, Applied Cogntive Psychology, Australasian Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine and Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences. 

I am a proud member of Macquarie University's Ally Network.
