I am a qualified Biomedical Scientist with a PhD and a wealth of experience across academia, research, and public service. During my Bachelor’s Degree, as part of my placement, I had the opportunity to work in several departments, including Respiratory, Cardiology, Sleep, and Neurology, where I conducted a wide range of tests and adhered to protocols to provide the best patient care. My doctoral research focused on the health beneficial properties of rice bran polyphenols on biomarkers associated with cardiovascular disease and Type II diabetes. While studying, I served as a Chemistry Demonstrator, where I conducted laboratory demonstrations, mentored students, and ensured laboratory safety. After completing my degree, I transitioned into a post-doctoral role, where I worked on a project aimed at using diagnostic techniques to monitor the health and welfare of bovine cattle. I then transitioned into the Australian Public Service as an APS6 Scientific Evaluator, conducting evaluations to assess the manufacturing quality of vaccines and therapeutic products.
