My research focuses on finding new ways to diagnose and treat glaucoma, as well as discovering what the eye can tell us about the brain in health and dementia.

Glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, affecting over 300,000 Australians. I led a world first clinical trial in glaucoma treatment, which is now being trialled worldwide to see if it should be incorporated into standard glaucoma care.

I am an optometrist, balancing life as both a clinician and a scientist and am dedicated to supporting early career researchers in STEM, especially women. As a creative and pragmatic leader, I approach problem solving by thinking outside the box and reaching goals in a thoughtful but practical way. I am a passionate science communicator and love sharing the importance of vision and the value of eye research to our community.
