SHORT BIO:

I am a physiotherapist and chiropractor based in Perth, Western Australia, and currently serve as Discipline Lead for Chiropractic at Murdoch University. My academic leadership has a strong focus on curriculum development, accreditation, and musculoskeletal rehabilitation.

My PhD investigated the epidemiology of shoulder pain, with a particular focus on pain patterns and trajectories in rotator cuff-related conditions. My current research interests span shoulder, neck and low back pain, as well as health professions education, including competency-based education, assessment strategies, and equity, diversity and inclusion in healthcare.

I’m incredibly excited to be part of CARL III and very grateful for the opportunity to learn, collaborate, and connect with such a great group of researchers.
