Miriam is a Research Assistant for the ENVISAGE Service Providers and Review of Best Practice in Early Childhood Intervention projects. She enjoys living and raising children in a small town in regional Victoria on Taungurung land.
Miriam has a background in physiotherapy, with many varied work experiences across rural and metro regions of Victoria, Western Australia and New South Wales. Miriam is mother to two children, one of whom has a rare genetic syndrome (Kabuki syndrome). As a family they live with the complexity and uncertainties of navigating multiple medical, disability, and educational services and systems.
Working in the Healthy Trajectories team gives an opportunity to bring together personal and professional experiences to hopefully have impact on wider systems and processes, making things better for future generations of children and their families.
Outside of this work Miriam enjoys volunteering locally as a babywearing peer educator and re-energises through music (playing violin) and other forms of creative expression.
The Healthy Trajectories Child and Youth Disability Research Hub acknowledges the Traditional Owners of Country throughout Australia and recognises the continuing connection to the lands and waterways on which we live, learn and work. We pay our respect to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, and to Elders past, present and emerging.
