I am a clinical academic neurologist at Flinders University in South Australia with particular interest in immune mediated nervous system disease, especially multiple sclerosis. I have also an interest in medical education and vocational training in medicine, and the clinical neurosciences.

I am a clinical-academic neurologist and since my appointment to Flinders University/Southern Adelaide Local Health Network in 2007 I have high-level experience in clinical neurology, academic neurosciences and medical education as evidenced by my roles as Associate Dean, Head of Medical Science and Technology, Flinders University, Network Head of Neurology, Southern Adelaide Local Health Network 2011-17, and Associate Dean (MD) Director of the Flinders MD 2012-15. Please see http://orcid.org/0000-0003-4323-2453.

At the time of commencement at Flinders in 2006, I was awarded the inaugural NHMRC- MSRA Betty Cuthbert clinical research fellowship in Multiple Sclerosis. I completed my PhD in the mitochondrial biology of Multiple Sclerosis in 2012. I have consolidated local, national and international research collaborations in Multiple Sclerosis/Neuroimmunology and have over 120 scholarly outputs many in high impact journals such as JAMA (IF 51.47) Nature Genetics (IF 25.45), Annals of Neurology (IF 9.49), Brain (IF 11.81), and Neurology (IF 8.05).
