Biography

Research experience & interests:I am a behavioural scientist with the career objective of reversing increasing population rates of childhood obesity. My applied research involves settings-based interventions in schools and childcare services to change the policies and practices of these organisations in order to facilitate healthy behaviours in the people within them. I was responsible for intervention development, implementation and evaluation for interventions as part of Australia's largest ever childhood obesity prevention project (Good for Kids. Good for Life). This involved implementing interventions across 400 primary schools and 300 childcare centres within the Local Health District. I am particularly interested in using technology to integrate obesity prevention strategies into existing systems within organisations.
