These have been published as 6 peer-reviewed papers in various international journals. During her PhD, she was awarded Deeble Summer Research Scholarship from Australian Healthcare and Hospitals Association (AHHA) with the outcome of a policy brief titled “Improving the uptake of the Baby Friendly Health Initiative in Australian hospitals”.
