Research Interests

Her research interests fall into two broad themes: (1) advancing worker health and well-being across diverse sectors and occupations and (2) promoting sustainable well-being, specifically by examining the impact of home retrofitting on occupant health and well-being. Her research aligns the fields of occupational health/public health and occupational hygiene/exposure science, two fields that seek to address health risks.

She has extensive experience in conducting multi-disciplinary research in the fields of occupational and environmental health and safety and workplace health promotion.
