Biography:
Belinda has dedicated over 18 years to Indigenous health in both nursing and health research capacity in the Northern Territory. Her interest in Indigenous health and particularly early antecendents of chronic disease led to her joining the Aboriginal Birth Cohort (ABC) study.
Belinda was part of the successful Wave-3 data collection for ABC, and towards the end of that wave she was managing and coordinating the full project. She subsequently coordinated the recruitment of a non-Aboriginal Top End cohort study.
Currently she is the project manager of two life course studies and the Preterm Kidney study. She is involved in community consultation, oversees data collection and management and provides training, mentoring and support to junior staff and other colleagues.
