Education & Formal Research Preparation

Master of Teaching

University of South Australia (UniSA)

GPA: 4.46 / 5

In Progress · 2026–27

PU5027 Fundamentals of Research Design (Online)

University of Aberdeen

Formal research-design preparation for prospective doctoral study.

Independent Research Project · 2026

HINTS 7 Secondary Analysis

Social-Media Health Information Judgement & Use

Reproducible secondary analysis of a nationally representative U.S. health-communication survey using survey-weighted logistic regression, 50 JK1 replicate weights, ordinal sensitivity analysis and model-specification checks.

Primary adjusted association: OR 1.83 (95% CI 1.42–2.34; n=5,183). Cross-sectional, non-causal interpretation.

Independent Research Project · 2026

HINTS 6 + HINTS 7 Repeated Cross-Sectional Analysis

2022–2024 Social-Media Health Information Comparison

Reproducible pooled analysis of two independent U.S. HINTS survey cycles using the NCI Rizzo merging design with 100 replicate weights and formal survey-year interaction testing.

Primary interaction: OR 1.20 (95% CI 0.83–1.73; pooled n=10,838; p=0.330). The analysis found no clear evidence that the focal association changed between 2022 and 2024.

NHANES Device-Measured Movement Analysis

Device-Measured Movement & Self-Reported Leisure Physical Activity

Reproducible secondary analysis of NHANES 2013–2014 integrating day-level wrist physical-activity-monitor summaries with GPAQ leisure activity, demographics and BMI using the NHANES complex survey design.

Primary focal coefficient: beta 0.00876 (95% CI 0.00347–0.01404; n=4,726; p=0.003). The positive association remained stable across prespecified movement-data completeness and model sensitivities. Cross-sectional, non-causal interpretation; MIMS movement density is not presented as MVPA.

Professional Practice

Relevant Experience

Founder, SISFIT Academy

Large-scale health and exercise education practice spanning curriculum development, public-facing health communication and digital content.

The practice environment has reached 300,000+ cumulative cross-platform audience scale. Audience and platform metrics are not represented as research participants or validated health outcomes.

Knowledge Translation

Selected Professional Outputs

Health-education curricula, exercise and rehabilitation materials, public communication and practitioner education are treated as professional/knowledge-translation outputs unless a specific item also meets the definition of a formal research output.
