I am an Epidemiologist working within the BetterStart Health and Development Research Group at the University of Adelaide. My current research focuses on understanding individual and intergenerational pathways between child maltreatment and youth and adult justice system involvement. I completed my PhD in Epidemiology at the University of Melbourne in 2021. I have a background in the use of large longitudinal datasets to examine relationships between lifestyle factors and chronic diseases, including cancer, asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
