Although previously a Lecturer in the School of Psychology at the University of Adelaide, I am now the Senior Research Integrity Officer for the University. I assist with the investigation and management of research integrity matters, and have a keen interest in the promotion and education about research integrity to researchers of all experience levels.My research interests lie in the area of life body image/eating disorders and how they interact with sexual orientation, personality disorders, and the emergence of AI in the research landscape. My PhD thesis considered the complex relationship of body image and sexual orientation, with the focus on lesbian women. This PhD was undertaken from the University of South Australia, and was supervised by Professor David Gleaves, A/Professor Amanda Hutchinson, A/Professor Phil Kavanagh, and A/Professor Elizabeth Reiger .
My research has a focus on body image and eating disorders, and looking at the cross-section between gender and sexuality. I have also researched borderline personality disorder in collaboration with the Borderline Personality Disorder Collaborative (SA Health).
I have experience with both qualitative and quantitative methodologies.
