I'm the program manager for the Australian Teletrial Program in the Northern Territory. My background is in nursing, primarily in the theatre and perioperative space. I earned my Master of Public Health in the U.S., having moved there in 2020 during the height of the pandemic—a challenging but rewarding experience, and this May I commenced a Master of Business Administration. During my time in the U.S., I worked as a research assistant at my university, which sparked my interest in research and clinical trials. Since joining the Australian Teletrial Program in October last year, I've been thrilled to work with a team of dedicated and passionate professionals. On a personal note, I'm an avid traveller with a love for exploring new places. I've been to 40 countries so far and lived in three—Australia, the U.S., and the U.K.—and I'm always planning my next adventure!
