Welcome to my homepage; I use this website to collate my work, as well as network and connect with collaborators.
I'm a public health researcher with a background in data science, viral evolution and infectious disease epidemiology. I'm also a founding Director of the Australian registered charity Grass Skirt Project Ltd, who I help to develop innovative community driven projects, delivering improved health and social outcomes for people in Papua New Guinea.
I'm currently a CIHR & Michael Smith Foundation for Health & Medical Research funded Health System Impact postdoctoral fellow doing multidisciplinary research on viral hepatitis, HIV and other transmissible infections at the British Columbia Centre for Disease Control & University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. I also have an adjunct appointment at the Kirby Institute, University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia.
I have broad research interests including basic science (viral evolution, phylogenetics, molecular diagnostics, antiviral drug resistance), clinical research (infectious disease epidemiology, and health of marginalised populations) and public health policy.
Please visit the 'Connect' page to get in touch with me or the 'About' page to learn more about me and my story.
I love networking, talking about science, and communicating my research, and am able to tailor presentations to any audience. Some examples of talks and presentations I have previously done are;

I love networking, talking about science, and communicating my research, and am able to tailor presentations to any audience. Some examples of talks and presentations I have previously done are;
- Presenting at music festivals/public events (I presented at Splendour in the Grass in the inaugural 'Science Tent' in 2017)
- Speaking to students about pursuing careers in science and research
- Presenting my research on hepatitis C virus to community groups and other non academic audiences
- Delivering guest lectures at universities (locally and overseas)
- Presenting research at national and international scientific and clinical conferences
