I am a medical doctor with a Bachelor of Science (majoring in physics and microbiology), Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery and Masters of International Health. I am also a PhD student studying science communication, specifically the importance of human stories and the compatibility with the scientific view of determinism. I am currently an Interdisciplinary Lecturer at the University of Sydney, having delivered projects on health equity and youth development, and am currently working on projects with the Australian Space Agency and Australian Science Communicators. My other roles include being an academic at Torrens University teaching health communication and diagnosis, as well as being the Chair of Youth and Future Leaders for the Rotary Club of Sydney Cove. My main research interests are health anthropology and approaches to science communication.
