Bio

I am a Senior Project Officer within the School of Population HealthÌýImplementation science team. I help to coordinate multi-site studies, conduct clinician interviews and focus groups, and contribute to the development, implementation and monitoring of site-specific interventions.

I am currently working on the Precision Care Clinics Initiative, which aims toÌýoptimise the delivery of evidence-based precision cancer medicine in the Australian public health system and enable effective and efficient scale up. I have over 3 years’ experience as an implementation lead and over 6 years’ experience as a clinical researcher, which includes managing large patient cohorts and genomic datasets. I am a trained associate genetic counsellor, with clinical experience in genomics, familial cancer and prenatal care.
