Biography:

Victoria is a research project coordinator and PhD candidate in the Wellbeing and Preventable Chronic Disease Division at Menzies School of Health Research. 

Within the Renal Health Program, she manages the Piloting the What Matters 2 Adults (WM2A) Wellbeing Measure Tool with Renal Patients in the Top End, Northern Territory project, which examines the feasibility and appropriateness of implementing the WM2A measure within Top End renal services.

Her doctoral research explores how patient reported outcome measures and wellbeing metrics are conceptualised and experienced in First Nations contexts, particularly within renal care in the Northern Territory.

Drawing on a background in public health, clinical naturopathy, and community-engaged health roles, Victoria brings a critically reflective and equity-focused lens to questions of how health and wellbeing are understood, measured, and enacted across diverse ways of knowing.
