Jenny is a Research Fellow at The University of Queensland-Mater Research Institute’s Centre for Health System Reform and Integration. Her research focus is evaluating the implementation of remote and digitally delivered health services, and diet and physical activity behaviour interventions. Between 2010 - 2020 Jenny was a researcher at The University of Queensland’s School of Public Health with the Cancer Prevention Research Centre conducting and evaluating broad reach, remotely delivered lifestyle interventions (e.g. delivered via telephone and text messages) to achieve and maintain weight loss and behaviour change in adults with complex chronic conditions such as type 2 diabetes and cancer. Jenny’s PhD ‘Evaluating text message-delivered, extended contact interventions targeting healthy weight, diet and physical activity behaviour’ focused on a digitally delivered intervention with evaluation of outcomes important to informing translation into practice. Jenny has extensive experience in public hospitals, private settings and community sectors as an Accredited Practicing Dietitian working in maternal and child health, and chronic disease management.
