I am an optometrist, a Certified Professional Ergonomist and a Certified Generalist OHS Professional. My formal qualifications are a Bachelor of Optometry (Hons), a Master of Safety Science and a PhD.
By combining my academic background with practical optometry and ergonomics experience, I offer a holistic approach to solving vision problems in the workplace. I am typically asked to provide consultancy services investigating visual comfort and visual demands, and have provided these services across a range of industries including retail, health, transport, manufacturing, customer service and control rooms. This video explains how I became interested in visual ergonomics, while this video describes some of my work.
I am an active member of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society of Australia (HFESA) and am a member of the NSW Branch committee. Other roles I have held previously within the HFESA include National President, NSW Branch Chair, Professional Development Coordinator (NSW Branch), Chair of the Honours & Awards Committee and Federal Board Director.
I hold the following appointments:
In 2015 I became a Fellow of the American Academy of Optometry, and in 2020 was awarded Fellow of the Human Factors & Ergonomics Society of Australia (HFESA).
