Profile

qualifications: MPhil

position: Senior Research Officer

department: Medicine & Dentistry

I am a physiotherapist by background. I continue to work clinically within an Older Persons Integrated Health Service as the Older Persons Liaison Service Clinician. My MPhil investigated how carers of older adults with complex needs navigate through health and aged care systems. I am also a member of the Healthy Ageing Research Team (HART) at James Cook University, a group of clinician-based researchers in FNQ whose research agenda is driven by community identified priorities and clinical need. The focus of my research agenda is both integrated care and healthy ageing for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
