I am a clinical Physiotherapist in Neurological Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation with an Australian Physiotherapy Association Pain Title with extensive experience in the public sector and private practice. Having completed clinical education as a senior clinician I stepped into a lecturing role at the School of Allied Health and Human Performance within the College of Health. I design my classes for students to apply learnt knowledge and skills to real-world clinical scenarios related to my clincial practice, enhancing their future employability. 
 
Having completed my PhD in mind-body therapies for people with persistent pain following stroke, I have an ongoing interest in the use, application and tertiary education of mind-body therapies in clinical cohorts. I am also interested in Functional Neurological Disorder and the influence that our thoughts, beliefs and perceptions have on our physical function and overall wellbeing. Similarly, I am also interested in factors such as interoception and exteroception, body awareness, and the role of the autonomic nervous system with regards to improving and maintaining physical health and wellbeing.
My Masters research focused on cardiovascular exercise using a robotic walking device in stroke, relating to my interest in technologies for evidence-based practice for people with neurological presentations. Similarly, having a post-graduate certificate in health (chronic condition management) I am interested in self-management and behaviour change to influence health and wellbeing. 
 
Having been a female sportsperson my whole life, I am also interested in research related to women in sport. My interest is particularly related to the ongoing inequity and disadvantage and perceptions related to this, however, I am also interested in best-practice training approaches. 
 
Finally, I am also interested in researching and evaluating innovative and best-practice teaching and learning appoaches, using cycles of continuous improvement to improve learning outcomes for students, and ultimately clincial outcomes for patients.
