Sleep Scientist
I originally worked as a Sleep Scientist at Austin Health in 2010 and went on to work for a range of research groups throughout Victoria (The Howard Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health), Austin Health, Royal Melbourne Hospital, The University of Melbourne) and New South Wales (Westmead Children's Hospital, Brain and Mind Centre and Neuroscience Research Australia).
In 2012 and 2013 I completed a Masters in Psychology (Clinical Neuropsychology) during which time I completed a research project in collaboration with The Royal Melbourne Hospital and the Melbourne Brain Centre, looking at sleep and cognition in patients with seizure disorders. I worked on this project under the supervision of Professor Terence O'Brien, Professor Dennis Velakoulis and Professor Michael Saling.
I now hold current registration with AHPRA as a Clinical Neuropsychologist and enjoy working in my current roles in paediatric settings in hospitals, schools, the community and private health.
