Researcher biography

I am a Research Fellow at the Centre for the Business and Economics of Health (CBEH) at the University of Queensland. My areas of expertise are in applied economics, with a focus on the use of statistical and econometric modelling to analyse health resource use, policy impacts and health outcomes. I am particularly interested in the optimisation of primary health care teams and the development of policies to improve mental health and reduce suicide rates. I am currently working as a postdoctoral researcher on an MRFF grant, building an evidence base to inform policy decisions in primary health care.
