I am a clinician-researcher, and Senior Research Fellow and Strategy Lead at the National Ageing Research Institute.
As a neuropsychologist-researcher, my expertise encompasses mental health, cognition, ageing, and dementia. Working strategically to achieve common goals is a personal strength, and I have demonstrated skills in leadership, strategy, engagement, and communication. I have extensive knowledge of the ageing and aged care sectors, and numerous key relationships with clinicians, service providers, researchers, and policymakers.
I have served on the AAG Victorian division executive committee since 2018, and Vice-Chair since 2021 (two-year term ending in December 2022). I initiated and led the AAG Mentoring program, gaining Board approval for the four-month pilot program (completed).
I have board experience at a national level, as current Vice-President and non-executive director of Science and Technology Australia (since 2021).
