BIO
I am interested in supporting healthy eating and physical activity across all communities and all age groups. I believe the current food environment makes it difficult for many people to make healthier choices particularly in outer regional, rural and remote communities. I am passionate about public health and like to focus my work where it can have a population level impact - whether that is a small rural community or a larger regional or urban centre.
