### Background
Karly is an Accredited Practising Dietitian who is deeply passionate about improving the lives of older people through quality food and nutrition care. To achieve this vision requires good dietetic practice, workforce enhancement and a commitment from society to value the lives of older people. Her research spans three areas 1) nutrition interventions for healthy ageing and quality of life, 2) aged care systems, models of care, reform, and policy, and 3) dietetic curriculum and workforce.
Karly has a background working as a dietitian with older adults in Community and Residential Aged Care and personally assisted loved ones navigating the aged care sector, which provides an informed and impactful approach to her research. As an emerging research leader, she has a track record of publishing in nutrition and dietetics and aged care journals, presenting at national and international conferences, contributing to media and attracting research investment to progress her research program. Karly currently leads a program of research with Aged Care Dietitian-Researchers and has supervised Honours and Masters students through to successful completion.
