She has qualifications in epidemiology and biostastics, as well as cultural theory. Most of her experience has been gained in universities or public health organisations.

Tessa has a special interest in the ways that policy and legislation affect these interactions. Tessa has completed research evaluating policy interventions for the control of occupational disease, specifically the use of Material Safety Data Sheets as a means of hazard communication and exposure control. She has conducted extensive research on the psychosocial work environment and other hazardous occupational exposures including those leading to occupational contact dermatitis.
