Queer/bi+ and non-binary person (they/them)
I am qualitative social researcher of health, sexuality, and gender with a focus on LGBTQ+ health and inclusion.
I have conducted community-partnered research on the social aspects of bloodborne viruses, sexual and reproductive health, and queer, bi+ and trans health for 20 years.
I have a particular passion for promoting the distinctive contributions of the arts, humanities, and social sciences to achieving social change and impact across all sectors.
I am always keen to talk research partnerships, facilitation and media work, particularly on diverse LGBTQ+ community experiences and the creation of inclusive health and educational systems.
