I am a researcher and podiatrist. I am particularly interested in researching idiopathic toe walking and other paediatric musculoskeletal conditions. Other current projects include treatment for calcaneal apophysitis, treatment of diabetic foot ulcers and health services research.

I have worked at Monash Health in the Allied Health Research Unit and am now the Allied Health and Community Health Research Lead at Peninsula Health in Victoria, Australia. I mentor and supervise allied health clinicians and higher degree by research students in research.

I'm an l Professor at Monash University and adjunct research professor at the University of South Australia.
