I have 9 years of experience in public health research and practice (mainly biostatistics) and 4 years of experience in clinical psychiatry, where I treated patients.
My goal is to carry out research to help prevent and alleviate suffering for the sickest, poorest, and most vulnerable populations.
My research includes 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.

Taught Medical students about psychiatry regularly by teaching them psychiatric theory and interview skills
