Her research focuses on veterinary anaesthesia, microcirculatory responses, and patient safety in veterinary practices. Current projects include 4% alfaxalone pharmacokinetics in dogs, veterinary safety culture, and snake envenomation management. She has published extensively in journals like Veterinary Anaesthesia and Analgesia and Australian Veterinary Journal.

Recent collaborative studies demonstrate her expertise in equine anaesthesia (alfaxalone research), feline cardiovascular diagnostics, and cross-species microcirculation analysis. Her work bridges veterinary clinical practice with human healthcare insights, particularly in second victim support structures and humble leadership impacts.
