My research focuses on two main areas – health professions education and experiences of gender equity in healthcare. More specifically I am interested in trying to understand and enhance the way that people perform in complex, and often highly safety-critical, environments.

Completed projects include work with simulated patients and manikins, eye-tracking methodology, moulage, and ethical social media use . I have experience in a variety of methods and have received funding from both international and national groups.

Current Projects:

Co-lead CODA Equity Lab (exploring equity in healthcare)

Authentic moulage in simulated patients

Social media as an consumer educational tool

Simulation Workforce: Diversity in the simulation workforce population

I am available to supervise HDR or honours students in projects related to health professions education, simulation, technology, nursing or social media. I have mixed-methods research expertise, with a particular expertise in eye-tracking methodology, delphi method, systematic reviews, stimulated recall interview methods, surveys.
