I am passionate about maximising the impact of research evidence through building an open culture of engagement between researchers, policymakers, service providers and communities. I have a strong academic and practical understanding of knowledge translation, have developed and supported the implementation of knowledge translation plans and have built researchers’ capacity for knowledge translation. Whilst working within academia and for a philanthropic founcation, I have gained extensive experience of developing and managing strategic partnerships and relationships to enable stakeholders to explore and become involved with the latest research evidence.
