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), Master of Biostatistics, MPhil in Epi, and I am nearing completion of my PhD in Social Mental Health Services using advanced biostatistics and simulation modelling.
I have over 8 years of experience in biostatistics/public health in government and university settings. I am an Accredited Statistician from the Statistical Society of Australia which is a rigorous milestone to achieve.
I also have 4 years of experience as a medical doctor in clinical psychiatry, treating patients with mental illness.
My research as a biostatistical consultant 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.
