BIO

I am an ARC DECRA Senior Research Fellow within the Global Centre for Preventive Health and Nutrition (GLOBE), a World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Obesity Prevention in Deakin's Institute for Health Transformation.

I lead a research program within the NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence in Food Retail EnvironmentS for Health (RE-FRESH) network of researchers and policy makers. My team's work focuses on the implementation of healthy food retail initiatives and policies, with a particular interest in evaluating and leveraging diverse stakeholder perspectives. Our research approach uses novel and mixed methods and embeds knowledge translation, including by engaging with partners, such as Nutrition Australia, VicHealth, local governments, and the Victorian Department of Health, in all stages of research.
