I’m a research fellow specialising in cancer biology, with a focus on ovarian cancer and replication stress. I am driven by my passion for translational cancer research; my work aims to identify the mechanisms underlying sensitivity to novel therapeutic agents. I have been part of the Division of Cancer Sciences for almost seven years, during which time I have gained increasing independence and confidence, although I still experience impostor syndrome. Through mentorship, I hope to help others recognise their strengths and progress in their careers with confidence. 

Mentoring areas: 

  • Transition from PhD to post-doc research 
  • Identifying funding opportunities 
  • Navigating supervisor and colleague relationships 
  • Maintaining a healthy work/life balance
