Accredited Practising Dietitian
With a background as a Clinical Dietitian, I have over 25 years experience in Clinical Dietetics and medical research. Whilst at Westmead Breast Cancer Institute, I was awarded my PhD from the faculty of Medicine, The University of Sydney in 2013 focusing on the role of vitamin D in metabolic disease and cancer. I was a spokesperson for the Dietitians association of Australia from 2012-2017 during which I regularly appeared on television and in print media. I undertook a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship at NICM following my PhD and went onto work as a Clinical Research Manager at The Children’s Hospital at Westmead and then lead dietitian at Norwest Private Hospital. I joined JDRF early in 2020 acting as senior manager clinical operations, where I currently oversee the JDRF clinical research portfolio. I am currently also working in private practice with an interest in Bariatric and gastrointestinal nutrition.
