- Senior Lecturer in Global Health, The University of Western Australia
I use interactive methods to understand and help improve people’s experiences with toilets, menstrual health and hygiene, the menopause transition, incontinence and water, with a focus on low resource contexts.
I am a Senior Lecturer in Global Health within the School of Population and Global Health at The University of Western Australia and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. I have worked in several countries, particularly in Oceania, South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. I'm also a co-founder of the 'Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Failures' initiative, encouraging WASH professionals to be more honest about when things don't work out. Check out (and sign!) The Nakuru Accord!
In my undergraduate days, I was one of the founding members of the University of Western Australia Pantomime Society, where I honed my skill of engaging with audiences on taboo matters, particularly through making a fool of myself on stage.
