Last week I was awarded the PhD research excellence award at the South Australian Science & Innovation Awards. I was shocked and honoured and couldn’t think of a better way to close out the #PhD chapter of my life. Thankful to so many people who supported me on this journey! 🥳 #SAScienceAwards

Hi #episky 😊 I’m a postdoc public health researcher & social epidemiologist from Australia. I focus on children’s health & development, but more recently moved into chronic disease, Indigenous health & social determinants.
In my spare time you’ll find me hanging out w/ my two pugs 🐶🐶

Such a great day at the South Australian Population Health Conference! Always so inspiring hearing about the local #publichealth efforts to improve the health & wellbeing of our community.

Some exciting news to share! 🎉 I’ve been elected as President of the Public Health Association of Australia (SA Branch). So grateful for the support of the executive committee & outgoing President Prof Jacquie Bowden. Very keen to lead South Australia in public health advocacy for the next 2 years.

📣 New paper published in JAMA Pediatrics this week showing increases in #screentime was associated w/ decreases in early language opportunities among toddlers. We recommend parents opt for educational content or interactive co-viewing if using screens w/ young children. 📺👶🏻
