Biography
My research seeks to explore novel approaches and/or solutions to improve Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ health and wellbeing using eHealth. My PhD (conferred November 2023, The University of Queensland) focussed on the co-design of a mobile health (mHealth) platform specifically tailored for the clinical management of CVD risk factors, in partnership with two ATSICCHOs in Far North QLD. Previous to my PhD journey (commencing in 2019) I spent more than 13 years as an Indigenous Healthcare Worker in Queensland alongside rural and remote Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in the discipline of cardiac and healthcare services.
