I am a lecturer, researcher and practicing podiatrist with an interest in Clinical Biomechanics, Motor Control and Musculoskeletal disorders. I have worked in both rural and urban settings including: the Northern Far Western Regional Health Service (covering regions from Ceduna to Roxby Downs), the Royal Adelaide Hospital and The Queen Elizabeth Hospital. I recently completed my PhD thesis investigating the role of dexterity in scalpel skill learning amongst podiatrists.
