Research interests
Interactions between alcohol and other drug use and sleep and mental health outcomes including shift work and circadian rhythm disturbances
Biography
I have a keen interest in promoting science and education to the wider community. I have:
• Given invited talks to clinicians and technicians on sleep, and developed and disseminated a low-literacy “healthy sleep” tool used in numerous Eastern Health clinics.
• Delivered 3 day-long “sleep workshops” to up-skill the alcohol and other drug workforce. These have trained >100 staff.
• Worked with CSIRO’s Scientist in Schools Program to engage students with science.
• Had my work featured in both national and international media, and recorded podcassts relevant to sleep and alcohol use as part of Sleep Hub.
