She is a practicing academic pharmacist with a background in biochemistry. Her current role is within the New Zealand Pharmacovigilance Centre, and her interest is in the safe and optimal use of medications.

Her research spans all areas of practice, but is particularly focussed on access, equity and adherence to medications, and the role that pharmacists have as medication experts.
