School of Veterinary ScienceI am a veterinary scientist with an interest in epidemiology, animal health and welfare. I am currently a postdoctoral fellow with the EpiCentre at Massey University, where I am involved a range of research projects and in teaching veterinary epidemiology to both internal and external students.
My research interests mostly revolve around animal health and how it can be improved to ensure welfare. My work to date has included cross-sectional and longitudinal studies into the health of working dogs and livestock.
