I am a Research Coordinator with the Psycho-Oncology Team at the Murdoch Children's Institute. I manage patient recruitment and other operations for the Australian arm of an NIH-funded multisite study, which compares the late effects of photon vs. proton-beam cranial radiation therapy on neurocognitive function and symptom burden in patients treated for paediatric brain tumour. I also conduct extensive neuropsychological assessments for children, adolescents and adults enrolled in our study in my capacity as a Clinical Neuropsychology Registrar (Psychology Board of Australia).
