Personal profile
Research interests
I work as part of the Demography and Growth Planning research team at the Northern Institute of Charles Darwin University to understand the causes and consequences of population changes for the Northern Territory of Australia and nationally. With expert knowledge of relevant data, I am particularly interested in relationships between changing populations, economies and communities. I aim to provide evidence-based advice to policy makers, NGOs and other practitioners for the benefit of our communities and our diverse societies.
