BIO

I am an Australian Research Council DECRA Senior Research Fellow within the Global Centre for Preventive Health and Nutrition (GLOBE), a World Health Organization Collaborating Centre for Obesity Prevention. I co-lead a research stream on implementing, sustaining and scaling-up healthy food retail changes that support customers health, within the NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence in Food Retail EnvironmentS for Health (RE-FRESH: Next Generation) network of researchers and policy makers. Our research approach uses novel and mixed methods and embeds knowledge translation, including by engaging with partners, including local governments, NGOs, state promotion agencies, and state governments, in all stages of research.
