Background
I studied Nursing at Deakin University. For the first 20 years of my career, I worked in the Emergency Department and completed my Graduate Diploma in Emergency Nursing. My career then moved into Nursing Education – Clinical Facilitator at Barwon Health, nursing tutor at Deakin University, and I worked in the Graduate team supporting newly graduated registered nurses. Since 2015 I have been a Research Nurse, initially with the Cardiology Research Unit and now with the Clinical Trials Unit.
Research Focus
My current clinical trials are:
- Iodine Nasal Spray for the common cold
- Staph Aureus Vaccine
- Shingles vaccine long term follow up
- COVID-19 booster vaccinations for Immunocompromised people
- Paget’s disease long term follow up
I am currently assisting Deakin University witha study into the long term physical and psychological consequences of COVID-19 infection.
