BIOGRAPHY AND RESEARCH IMPACT
I am a PhD candidate at Curtin University, with a research focus on women’s housing insecurity and homelessness. My doctoral research uses mixed methods and co-design approaches to examine the intersecting factors that shape women’s housing experiences and contribute to evidence-informed solutions.
I have experience contributing to public health research through data collection and analysis, literature reviews, community and stakeholder engagement, research translation, and academic writing. My work is driven by a strong interest in translating research evidence into policy and practice to achieve meaningful real-world impact.
I am also an Industry Mentoring Network in STEM (IMNIS) mentee, an initiative of the Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (ATSE), supporting my development in leadership, industry engagement and cross-sector collaboration.
My career interests span academia, government and the social impact sector, with a commitment to advancing housing security, women’s wellbeing and equity.
