Biography

With an interest in health policy and program implementation, Katharine completed a Master of Health Economics and Policy at the University of Adelaide in 2012. During this time, and also since the completion of her degree, Katharine has tutored in Health Economics at both an undergraduate and postgraduate level. From 2009-2013, Katharine was a project officer at the Heart Foundation (SA) working across a broad spectrum from the built environment to acute care, including investigating disparities in access to in-hospital treatment for Aboriginal patients. She was also the coordinator of the South Australian Cardiovascular Research Network, a collaboration of the Heart Foundation (SA), the South Australian government and SAHMRI, which seeks to foster a vibrant research community in the State.

Katharine works across a range of research, centred around cardiovascular health and the continuum of care for Aboriginal people with cardiovascular disease.
