Overview
I am a post-doctoral researcher, leading survivorship research at the Behavioural Sciences Unit in the Kids Cancer Centre at Sydney Children’s Hospital, Australia. My key research interests include developing models of care to meet the needs of childhood cancer survivors and their families, the sleep needs of families on treatment, and fear of cancer recurrence among survivors, their parents and siblings. I enjoy working within our great multi-disciplinary team and fostering national collaborations through the implementation of our Australian-New Zealand wide study involving all ANZCHOG centres.
