I am a Health Psychologist working in the Pain Management Unit at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and the Adult Burns Service at Royal Adelaide Hospital.
I completed the Master of Psychology (Health) and PhD program offered at the University of Adelaide. My masters research is in the field of cancer awareness, examining the attitudes and knowledge of Australian women towards cervical cancer screening. My PhD is in the field of cancer survivorship, examining cancer identity and the media representation of people diagnosed with cancer. My other areas of interest include student migration, psychoneuroimmunology and juvenile justice.
