As a researcher, I am interested in how healthcare innovations (models of care, digital health),Ìýhealth system changes and interprofessional collaboration can improve eye health outcomes and the quality of eye care delivery. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, I have investigated barriers to eye care access and the role of collaborative care models and remote monitoring on patient care. The overarching aim of my research is to optimise access to eye care to prevent vision loss, promote health and enhance quality of life.Ìý
I am interested in supporting my fellow early career academics, and currently serve as the Co-Chair of the Early Career Academic Network, Medicine & Health Subcommittee and on the »Ê¹Ú²ÊƱ Health Systems Research EMCR Committee.
I have previously held clinical positions at the Centre for Eye Health, The Australian College of Optometry and in corporate and independent practices in NSW and Victoria. I am an Australian Volunteers Program Alumni, having contributed to the establishment of optometry education program at the University of Medicine Pham Ngoc Thach in Vietnam, in partnership with the Brien Holden Foundation.
