A health economist in chronic disease areas, including multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis, diabetes, analysing the economic burden of the disease, examining direct and indirect costs, including healthcare expenses and lost productivity. I assess the impact of diseases on patients’ quality of life, considering physical, mental, and social dimensions. Additionally, I evaluate the cost-effectiveness of new therapies, comparing treatment costs to health outcomes, to inform healthcare policy and decision-making. My work aims to optimize resource allocation, improve patient care, and support the development of affordable, effective treatments for patients, their families, and the society.

About the BEAKER STREET ROVING SCIENTIST PROGRAM
Each August, hundreds of Roving Scientists descend upon Hobart, filling up pubs and chatting to strangers as part of Beaker Street Festival. Discover a new world down the lens of microscope, and joining the least-boring bar conversations you’ve ever heard and these free (the chats – not the drinks) events.
For Scientists, Beaker Street’s Roving Scientist Program offers an excellent outreach, professional development, and networking opportunity. It’s the nerdiest and funnest way to share your research with the public, expand your network, and be inspired by leaders in all sectors of science and science communication.
