Rachel is an Associate Research Fellow at Deakin University. Rachel trained as a paediatric doctor, earning a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery from Brighton and Sussex Medical School and Membership of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health (UK). She went on to complete a Master of Public Health at the University of Sheffield, before recently finishing her PhD at the Deakin Institute for Mental and Physical Health and Clinical Translation. Her research focuses on preventing childhood wheezing and asthma, with a particular interest in the role of maternal diet. Her PhD examined the association between maternal diet and these childhood respiratory outcomes, and she is now working to translate those findings into practice through a dietary intervention study. In her current role, she is part of the Farm PRT-E randomised controlled trial, which investigates how a dietary intervention affects the mental and physical health of families in rural and regional communities.
