Her special research interests include perioperative blood management, regional anaesthesia and airway management. She has submitted her PhD thesis on Rotational Thromboelastometry (ROTEM®) in obstetrics. She has facilitated workshops and published and presented widely on this topic, including at the Gilbert Brown and Gilbert Troup prize sessions; and was the winner of the Best Open Poster Prize at the 2018 ANZCA ASM. She is also a working party member of the Queensland Clinical Guidelines for Primary Postpartum Haemorrhage.
