Associate Professor
Doctoral Supervisor School of PsychologyI am a Registered Nurse and Clinical Psychologist, Associate Professor, and Consultant Clinical Psychologist. I have completed supervisions of local and international students in Honours, Masters, and Doctoral level students in cancer, end of life care, outcome measurement, nursing, and mental health. My recent research has supported two M膩ori palliative care researchers with projects that developed Indigenous end of life care outcome measures, the publications from which are forthcoming. My clinical practice specialises in ADHD and Autism, and I am an emerging researcher in that area. My areas of teaching are Clinical and Neuropsychology.
