Advancing child health and equity in the early years

Her research focuses on improving children’s health, quality of life, and development during the critical early years. She investigates how maternal health, socioeconomic and psychosocial adversity, and access to health services interact to shape child outcomes. By identifying modifiable drivers of inequity and evaluating opportunities for early intervention, her research aims to generate robust, policy-relevant evidence to inform equitable, family-centred services and improve outcomes for children and families experiencing adversity.
