She has worked in multidisciplinary research teams focused on social justice, and improving outcomes in education and health for marginalised members of society. These include female, male, transgender and nonbinary sex workers, women living with HIV, older people suffering isolation and discrimination, violent men, nurses experiencing burnout, and students at risk of suicide.
