I am a Ph.D. candidate and recipient of a UTS doctoral scholarship in the research group of Professor Steven P. Djordjevic at the University of Technology Sydney. I completed my B.Sc. in Medical Science with Honours in 2013, and anticipate completion of Ph.D. in Microbial Proteomics in 2017. My research focuses on the use of mass spectrometry of proteins and the application of N-terminomics methodologies for the characterisation post-translational proteolytic processing of proteins in infectious diseases.
