Personal profile

Biography

My academic journey began at Monash University where I was awarded a BSc (Psychology, Pharmacology).  My first employment was as a research assistant in Clinical Pharmacology (Austin Hospital, Heidelberg, VIC).  I moved to the United States and completed a MSc and PhD in Behavioural Pharmacology at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.  After completing a post-doctoral placement there, I returned to Australia and completed a second post-doctoral appointment at Monash University (Physiology).  I was appointed as a Lecturer in the School of Psychology where I taught undergraduate and post-graduate students and convened the Bachelor of Behavioural Neuroscience degree.  My current appointment is at Spectrum Personality Disorder Service (Eastern Health) as Head of Research & Innovation.  I have an Adjunct Clinical Associate Professor appointment at Monash University.  

My overarching research interests concern brain and behaviour, with specialisation in mental health, psychopharmacology, neuroendocrinology and substance use.  I am currently committed to researching topics related to personality disorder and complex trauma.
