Biography

June graduated from the University of Auckland in 2006 and embarked on a career as a business intelligence and data warehousing analyst at Westpac. Armed with practical skills from her Engineering degree, she moved to a management consulting role with Deloitte to analyse data to identify and quantify risk issues arising in utilities, public sector and retail.

She has chosen to undertake research because her passion is in bringing new techniques and methods to answer real world questions.

Research | Current

June's current research is on optimizing the cardiac patient’s journey using queuing theory and operations research methods. Her research aims to guide patient flow, staffing, scheduling and resource allocation through the cardiac unit, with the prospect of better patient outcomes as a result.

This research is part of a larger programme of work being undertaken by a group of researchers at the University of Auckland in collaboration with District Health Boards (DHB). This research is being supported by an award from The Green Lane Research and Educational Fund Board.

June's research is being supervised by Associate Professor Ilze Ziedins with AP Cameron Walker and Michael O'Sullivan from the Department of Engineering (Engineering Science) as co-supervisors.
