Associate professor, Monash University

I am a researcher and podiatrist. I am particularly interested in researching idiopathic toe walking and other paediatric musculoskeletal conditions. Other current projects include treatment for calcaneal apophysitis, treatment of diabetic foot ulcers and health services research.

I have worked at Monash Health in the Allied Health Research Unit and am now the Allied Health and Community Health Research Lead at Peninsula Health in Victoria, Australia. I mentor and supervise allied health clinicians and higher degree by research students in research.

I'm an Associate Professor at Monash University and adjunct research fellow at the University of South Australia.
