I am a non-Indigenous Australian and I currently live in Tandanya (Adelaide) on Kaurna land. I recently submitted my PhD thesis in Biological Sciences at the University of Adelaide. My multidisciplinary thesis project focused on understanding oral microbial communities (microbiomes) and oral health in Aboriginal Australians and Torres Strait Islanders, as well as the ethical implications of microbiome research for Indigenous peoples. I completed a policy internship at the Australian Indigenous Doctors' Association in 2017 through the Aurora program and worked as a research assistant for the Summer Internship for Indigenous Peoples in Genomics (SING) Australia initiative, which aims to support the next generation of Indigenous researchers and professionals in genomics and related fields, from 2018 to 2022. I am currently working in science journalism.
