BSc, MSc, PhD

I am a member of the Prevention Research Collaboration with twenty-five years of experience working in the tobacco control field and am well versed in program and policy best practice. My primary research interests include tobacco control, how online and social media influence public health, and the commercial determinants of health. I am an established authority on the potential of the Internet to circumvent tobacco advertising bans and have pioneered research methods in tracking and analysing online social media content.

Prior to pursuing my research interests in Australia, I worked for both government and not for profit organisations in Canada and New Zealand.
