I have been working at Ignite as an English and Biology tutor since 2018, and have had the very rewarding role of mentoring my students through their HSC and building their study skills and confidence in themselves. I have also had the opportunity to work as a manager at Ignite in terms of the recruitment and training of junior staff members, and also the development of study resources and training tools.

My research involves developing physiological models of prostate cancer that better mimic the way patient tumours take up and break down nutrients for their metabolic needs. This has allowed me to discover previously unreported resistance mechanisms against the clinical anti-androgen Enzalutamide, which I have been able to target with a novel combination therapy.
