What can I do?
·          Health intervention implementation including critical evaluations of care provision. 
·          Research surrounding the healthcare response to patients experiencing trauma.   
·          Grounded Theory Analysis on relevant healthcare challenges. 
·          Using statistical analysis to determine gaps in care and make recommendations to improve health service and clinician response.  
·          Program evaluations 

My approach:  I am a strong advocate for interdisciplinary collaborative research design. I consult with industry to develop purposeful networks and partnerships. These relationships facilitate the development of programs of research that address local healthcare challenges and capacity build the emergency health workforce. Furthermore, I maintain clinical currency, capability and expertise to ensure translational research endeavors address contemporary issues within emergency care. 

Examples of capabilities: I am able to effectively manage large scale research projects to completion. I am organised and action orientated generating momentum to deliver project outcomes. I have extensive peer-reviewed publications, have generated significant grant funding and have presented at conferences both domestically and internationally. I employ effective communication and team work to research at the intersection of various healthcare disciplines within integrated care delivery. I have developed a network across research institutes, universities, government,  non-governmental and advocacy entities to collaborate on these research initiatives. I have collaborated with healthcare providers to develop, implement and evaluate strategies to enhance patient safety.  

Methodological expertise include:

• Straussian Grounded Theory
• Qualitative data collection methods including interviews, and focus groups.
• Thematic analysis, and content analysis
• Integrative and other literature reviews
• Interventional evaluations and
• Quantitative non-parametric analysis employing SPSS. 

I have coordinated and taught into a variety of undergraduate and postgraduate courses. My teaching focus tends to be in complex healthcare provision and the transition from student to registered nurse. This includes topics such as domestic violence including intimate partner violence, child abuse and elder abuse, and the stigmatization and care of minorities such as refugees, asylum seekers and those of the LGBTQIA+ community and complex pathophysiological health alterations.
