I am an Associate Professor in Public Health, Discipline Lead for Population Health, and Advanced Accredited Practising Dietitian (AdvAPD) at Flinders University. My work sits at the intersection of health equity, population health and social justice, spanning research, health professional practice, and education. It is informed by co‑designed, relational, strengths‑based, reflexive, critical, collaborative, and qualitative approaches that seek to understand people’s experiences.
I am well known for my work in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health, which examined the role of non‑Aboriginal health professionals in Aboriginal health, and how strengths‑based approaches can be embedded in practice, particularly in the area of nutrition. More recently, my research has focused on how health professionals, systems, and regulatory frameworks shape equitable practice, including how social justice is embedded within the education and regulation of dietitians.
In 2022 I was a finalist in the South Australia Indaily 40 under 40 awards; awards which celebrate the vision, passion and achievements of SA's young leaders and in 2025, I received a Dietitians Australia Outstanding Contribution Award.
