Epi-interactive provides consultancy, training and research in epidemiology and public health. My training and experience have given me a wide range of skills and I can provide tailor-made solutions to meet the needs of your project. I also offer training from introductory to advanced level, from conference workshops to novel approaches to learning in the workplace.

I am a fully qualified and experienced veterinary epidemiologist. I am a graduate of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the Ludwig-Maximilians University of Munich, Germany. In addition I hold an MSc in Epidemiology from the School of Public Health, Bielefeld University, Germany, and a Dr. med. vet., with a thesis on diagnostic test evaluation, from the Veterinary Faculty of the University of Bern, Switzerland. I am a member of the Australian College of Veterinary Scientists (Epidemiology) and a Diplomate of the European College of Veterinary Public Health in the subspecialty Population Medicine. I received my PhD from Massey University in 2010 for my thesis on risk attribution modelling and the molecular epidemiology of zoonotic pathogens.

I have previously worked as a Senior Advisor (Risk Assessment) for the New Zealand Food Safety Authority and am currently employed as Senior Lecturer (Epidemiology) at the EpiCentre, Massey University. I enjoy the challenges of applying my skills to a wide range of topics and have developed a particular interest in the molecular epidemiology of infectious diseases and interdisciplinary research at the interface of human and animal health. Next to my research activities I have a strong passion for teaching from entry to advanced level.
