I have always had a passion for clinically impactful research. Training as a clinical epidemiologist was the perfect synergy for applying my clinical knowledge, lived experience, and further advancing my methodological and research skills to improve patient outcomes. I have been very fortunate to be involved with a variety of research projects and work with incredible mentors and collaborators to date. My early years focused on adult musculoskeletal research. More recently, I’ve developed an interest in rehabilitation with a specific focus on paediatric pain trajectories and access to rehabilitation services. I am also interested in mixed-methods research, which integrates benefits of quantitative and qualitative approaches.
