Researcher biography
Amy is a Senior Lecturer in the School of Nursing, Midwifery and Social Work and affiliate of the Parenting and Family Support Centre at UQ. She is the recipient of consecutive Children's Hospital Foundation Early Career Fellowships (2018-2021, 2021-2022). Amy is a paediatric nurse and completed her PhD (Health) in 2011, for which she received the Executive Dean's Commendation for Higher Degree Research. Amy's productive program of interdisciplinary research draws on health and behavioural science methodologies to understand the role of parents and parenting in child health and development, identify targets for intervention, and develop and test evidence-based parenting support interventions to improve children's health and developmental outcomes. Current areas of focus include the use of evidence-based parenting support to improve outcomes for children with chronic health conditions (e.g., asthma, eczema, type 1 diabetes, PKU) and neurodevelopmental differences (e.g., autism), supporting families to develop healthy habits from early childhood (e.g., oral health, nutrition, screen use), and supporting parents in the transition to parenthood (e.g., perinatal mental health, breastfeeding). Amy is also the Program Lead for the Master of Nursing (Graduate Entry) and a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (HEA).
