My trans-disciplinary research is at the nexus of health and education. Building on my professional experiences, my research focuses on the social determinants of health and modifiable risk factors over the early childhood years. I recognise the strengths families and children possess, but acknowledge existing barriers often prevent them supporting children’s early development and learning. I champion children's voice in research and the use of child participatory methodologies. Families and children, when provided with the opportunities and spaces, have the power to create change in their own lives, in their communities and in the overarching systems.
