I am a Professor of Health Communication in Society at La Trobe University. My background is in medical anthropology and public health, and my research focuses on cultural diversity, dementia, and mental health. Within these areas, I have conducted numerous studies on dementia prevention, awareness, diagnosis, and care, particularly within culturally diverse communities in Australia and beyond. I have authored over 150 publications and created more than 70 multilingual films, comics, and animations. Additionally, I’ve generated over $26 million in research income. In recognition of my work, I was inducted into the State Government of Victoria’s Multicultural Honour Roll in 2022.
