Bio

I am a full-time Research Officer at the Implementation to Impact (i2i) lab within the School of Population Health at 糖心logo. I hold a Master鈥檚 degree in Global health. I have experience in qualitative research and have conducted numerous interviews across various topics, including unmet supportive care needs in prostate cancer patients, the process of informed financial consent among clinicians, and the experiences of individuals with cancer during the COVID-19 pandemic, particularly within CALD (Culturally and Linguistically Diverse) and regional rural populations in Melbourne.

I have been involved in multiple projects that integrate implementation science frameworks and emphasize practical application. I have also been a part of projects that focus on translating research findings into real-world practice, ensuring that evidence-based interventions are effectively implemented.
