I am the recipient of the Executive Dean Health Research Postdoctoral Fellowship at Deakin University. I completed my PhD at the University of Melbourne in 2022 and my thesis explored cancer-related cognitive impairment in patients with newly diagnosed aggressive lymphoma undergoing standard chemotherapy. My postdoctoral research focuses on a home-based multi-modal training intervention for cancer-related cognitive impairment following chemotherapy for aggressive lymphoma: a randomised pilot trial. I have extensive experience in haematology nursing focusing on autologous transplantation and survivorship. My passion is to improve outcomes for people with cancer and run several funded research projects. I have published peer-reviewed journals, presented at international conferences and received many awards and prizes in recognition of my contribution to cancer nursing research.
