Naomi Priest received her PhD in 2009 from the University of Melbourne, focusing on population health through a qualitative participatory study with Aboriginal communities, which she published in health sociology journals. She completed a National Health Medical Research Council (NHMRC) post-doctoral fellowship from 2010 to 2014 at the University of Melbourne, where she received training in social epidemiology. Between 2014 and 2015, she served as a Visiting Scientist at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health. Naomi was awarded an NHMRC Career Development Fellowship (2017-2020), continuing her work on early life adversity and its influence on lifelong health, especially in identifying prevention opportunities for Aboriginal ethnic minority groups. Her broad research interest integrates empirical research methods to address health inequities, focusing on quantitative and qualitative research to understand health development disparities among children and youth from Indigenous and minoritized backgrounds. Naomi's work addresses the patterns and mechanisms of how early life exposures to stressors, discrimination, stigma, and bias influence health outcomes.
