I work in the Department of Social and Preventative Medicine, PA Hospital and Herston Medical School. I am married with a young son.

I studied Mathematics and Computer Science at The University of Queensland, where I won the Caltex Woman of the Year Award. This broadly based degree gave me many career choices. I chose to go to Stanford University (USA) where I completed a MSc and PhD in Statistics.

While in the US I worked as a consultant for the Stanford Medical School and the Bowman Gray School of Medicine, North Carolina.

My typical day has lots of variety, such as teaching within the Faculty of Medicine, researching medical problems with teams of Mathematicians and Medicos and advising health professionals on statistical matters.
