I am a lecturer in the School of Psychology at the University of Adelaide and work as a health psychologist at the CALHN Pain Management Unit. I have previously worked with people having burn injuries and cardiac issues within a hospital setting, and in private practice. My current research focuses on the relationship between physical and mental health and areas of interest include chronic illnesses (persistent pain, cardiac issues, cancer survivorship) and psychological wellbeing in people from migrant backgrounds.
