Overview
Background
I'm an emerging clinical researcher in the field of acquired brain injury. Working as a postdoctoral research fellow in the Child Health Research Centre, my research focusses on expanding knowledge relating to the effects of, and management practices for, traumatic brain injury in children. I completed my PhD in 2025, which developed my expertise in neuroscience, clinical trial conduction and research supervision. My PhD explored the effects of sports-related head impacts on the brain using a variety of novel biomarkers (including advanced neuroimaging sequences and blood biomarkers of brain integrity) and the potential for dietary strategies to ameliorate negative consequences. I'm also an Accredited Practising Dietitian, with over 5 years of clinical practice experience in academic, private practice and hospital settings.
