Biography
I have expertise in neuropsychology, psychological safety and wellbeing and in 2018, created the Everyday Neuro Podcast to deliver and translate research and mental health information to a global audience.
My main areas of interest are in mental health and wellbeing, cognitive performance including expertise and leadership development, memory and decision making and designing and implementing innovative technology based interventions.
I have attracted large scale funding and managed major international and national research projects working with a diverse range of stakeholders including Federal, State and Local Government, energy and health providers, educators and the community.
I have published in leading peer reviewed journals and online publications and presented research to national and international audiences at conferences, corporate events, television and radio.
Please contact me should you wish to discuss research collaborations or supervision.
