Position(s):
Senior Research Fellow at the University Centre for Rural Health, University of Sydney, and Research Scholar at the Collaboratory for Indigenous Data Governance.
I am an Indigenous researcher based in Australia, focused on the relationship between Country and health. I hold a PhD in Marine Science and have an interdisciplinary background spanning ecology, Indigenous health, and national data development. My work centres Indigenous knowledge systems and governance within environmental and health research. I contribute to national and international initiatives on Indigenous Data Sovereignty, including the CARE Data Maturity Model and the development of Indigenous data standards and policies to support the operationalisation of the CARE Principles. I co-chair the Indigenous Steering Committee for the Healthy Environments and Lives (HEAL) Network and serve on Global Biodiversity Information Facility GBIF’s Indigenous Data Governance Task Force.
