A City North Activation Initiative in Melbourne, we use Standford’s Our Voice Discovery tool to document features of the communities that impact older adults ability to lead healthy lives. Through photowalks, stakeholder workshops, and interactive exhibits, explore inclusive, age-friendly neighbourhoods through participatory civic data and storytelling.

As part of the Long COVID Assessment Management and Practice (LAMP) project, I am exploring the experiences of people with long-COVID alongside medical and allied health professionals. Taking an experience-based co-design approach, the aim of this research project is to drive more inclusive models of care for those living with long COVID. Part of the Eat, Move, Heal Network ︎

Focusing on supporting healthier and more resilient networks of care, I coordinated a work package component that investigated the role of community-led, service-enabled, and technology-driven care networks. As part of the Advanced Care Research Centre ︎, I was situated within the Institute for Design Informatics ︎

Our longitudinal mixed methods analysis highlighted the role of agency and social support in their lives
