She has also been involved in designing and delivering education and training across these various roles. Much of her experience has been in rural and remote communities including having lived and worked in one of the most remote Indigenous communities in Australia for 3 years.
Having focused on diabetes care and services for over 20 years, her passion has grown to include a comprehensive understanding of the opportunities and benefits of available technologies including telehealth, apps and social media in self-management, education and support of people living with diabetes as well as for healthcare professionals.

Tina completed her PhD at the Centre for Health Policy, Melbourne School of Population and Global Health, The University of Melbourne. Her randomised controlled trial evaluated the impact of a ‘patient narrative’ intervention program on self-efficacy and self-care behaviours in people with Type 2 Diabetes.

I also have previous experience in community and inpatient adult mental health services. I have a keen interest in young adults with Type 1 Diabetes and mental health and wellness in diabetes. GoShare has been a useful tool for our service particularly during Covid as it has allowed us to continue sharing verified information and education with our patients in a safe and time sensitive way. It has been particularly useful for our T2 Diabetes Group education via Telehealth . Some other areas it has been useful is for gestational diabetes and insulin starts.
