She serves as the National Data Manager for the Emerging Drugs Network of Australia (EDNA), a collaborative initiative tracking acute drug-related harm in Emergency Departments. Her expertise spans linked data analysis, epidemiology, and surveillance methods, particularly in cardiovascular health and drug toxicity. She holds a PhD (2023) focusing on atrial fibrillation and heart failure burdens using Western Australia’s linked hospital data.

Research Interests:

• Emerging drug surveillance and toxicology
• Epidemiology of cardiovascular diseases
• Data-driven public health interventions

Key Contributions: EDNA’s recent reports (2025) highlight fentanyl exposure and nitazene toxicity trends. Her work bridges clinical data with policy impact, evidenced by the Vice-Chancellor’s Award (2024). She cohosts The Meaning of Health Podcast, exploring public health narratives through academic and community lenses.

Awards:

• Vice-Chancellor’s Award in Research Impact & Innovation (2024)
• Science on the Swan People’s Choice Award (2023)

Grants and Collaborations: Her roles at EDNA and the Centre for Clinical Research in Emergency Medicine (since 2021) reflect interdisciplinary collaboration in toxicology and emergency medicine. She has published 21 peer-reviewed articles, with a focus on drug trends and cardiovascular outcomes.
