I want to use biostatistics and public health to help prevent and alleviate suffering for the sickest, poorest, and most vulnerable people. I have an MBBS(Hons), MBiostat, and MPhil in Epi, and I am doing my PhD in Mental Health Services for Socially Disadvantaged People.
I have over 8 years of experience in biostatistics/public health in government and university settings.
I also have 4 years of experience as a medical doctor in clinical psychiatry, treating patients with mental illness. My main field of research is social psychiatry.
My research has also included the areas of poverty, crime, social disadvantage, prenatal drug abuse, prematurity, children with disabilities, mental health, out-of-home care, addiction, Aboriginal Health, communicable diseases, cancer, heart disease, smoking cessation, breastfeeding, health and well-being, health education and aged care.
