I have 14 years experience in nutrition and dietetics research and specialise in supporting dietary interventions, whilst actively engaging with the digital health and healthy ageing research groups within my division. I manage clinical trials and research projects targeting older individuals at risk of malnutrition, cancer, or intestinal failure in various settings. In my work I use diverse data collection techniques, including surveys, focus groups and digital tools, to ensure thorough insight for informing evidence-based recommendations and driving impactful interventions in my field. Notable achievements include over 20 peer-reviewed publications and active involvement in securing grants. My credentials as a registered nutritionist, Cochrane author, and manuscript reviewer reflect my commitment to advancing nutrition research and fostering healthier communities.
My current work includes development and validation of the MUST mobile application for malnutrition screening and the management of a validation study for VISCGO sticks, which are used to measure liquid thickness for the management of dysphagia.
