BIO

I have joined the Graduate School of Health at UTS as Head of Discipline, Genetic Counselling in 2022.

Prior to moving to UTS, I was a Senior Genetic Counsellor in several large genetic services in metropolitan Sydney and recently worked as a Research Genetic Counsellor with Mackenzie's Mission. I have recently completed a PhD in the responsible implementation of reproductive genetic carrier screening exploring stakeholder views on inclusion of genes associated with non-syndromic hearing loss in screening.

I’ve held leadership roles in the Australasian Society of Genetic Counsellors and the NSW Genetic Counsellor Advisory Board with NSW Health, with a particular focus on defining the scope of practice of genetic counsellors.
