PhD Candidate, University of Adelaide

I am a PhD Candidate at the University of Adelaide, based at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute and a part of the Supportive Oncology Research Group. My current project investigates the neuropsychological complications of chemotherapy and the involvement of the endocannabinoid system.

Previously, I worked as a researcher for Flinders University investigating menstrual support in Australian primary schools for children who experience early menarche.
