I am a Senior Lecturer in psychology in the School of Health and Biomedical Sciences, RMIT University. Aside from my work as an academic, I have also developed, delivered, and evaluated metal health, health promotion, health communication and literacy, and community and population health programs and training and development for a range of academic, government, industry, and community audiences. Additionally, in the various roles I have held I have developed, implemented, and evaluated policy and programs and initiatives across a range of settings and sectors (e.g., heath, community services, justice, employment, etc.). My current areas of research interest are supportive relationships across the lifespan; belonging, wisdom, and loneliness; mental health in marginalised populations; self-regulation in adulthood; and transition to retirement.
