Rebecca brings a wide range of experience to the team as a result of working as a clinician, researcher and more recently as a project/community engagement manager. She has practiced as a dietitian in metropolitan and regional clinical settings as well as in private practice. Her early research interests focussed on supporting primary carers to foster healthy lifestyle choices and behaviours in their children. This work informed a state-wide child weight management initiative which provided Rebecca with a deep appreciation of the importance of health research translation and intricacies of implementation science.

Over the past 20 years, Rebecca has developed strong networks in government, academia and industry across a variety of fields. A passionate collaborator, she enjoys working in diverse teams to generate creative solutions to priority-driven health challenges.
