I am a part-time research student with the Clinical Epidemiology & Biostatistics Unit (CEBU) at the Murdoch Children’s Research Institute in Melbourne, Australia. My research is about estimating complier average causal effects (CACE) in clinical trials in the presence of missing data. My supervisors are Professor Katherine Lee, Professor Margarita Moreno-Betancur and Associate Professor Thomas Sullivan.

I also work as a statistical consultant at the University of Melbourne Statistical Consulting Centre (SCC), where I’ve worked since 2017. This involves working with researchers at the University and clients outside the University. We can assist with all stages of quantitative research: designing experiments or surveys, planning an appropriate analysis, analysing data, making graphs and communicating results clearly in papers or reports. As part of my role at the SCC, I also teach the short course Introduction to R and Reproducible Research twice per year, alongside Dr Sandy Clarke-Errey.

I served on the Statistical Society of Australia Victoria and Tasmania Branch Council from 2021–2024.
