They are an accredited dietitian and PhD candidate at Monash University, completing their thesis exploring TGD health and nutrition education and practice. Majella is a researcher, educator, and advocate for inclusive and affirming healthcare education, practice, and research approaches. They hold particular interest in nutrition and health considerations for intersectional experiences of chronic illness (such as ME/CFS, Long Covid, hEDS, Dysautonomia, MCAS) in neurodivergent and disabled SBLGBTQIA+ people with eating differences, difficulties and disorders. Majella applies an anti-colonial, disability justice, weight and body inclusive, harm reduction, intersectional, and depathologising approach to their work. They're passionate about depathologising diversity, and challenging oppressive, colonial, cisheteronormative, weight-centric, ableist norms that stigmatise, devalue, silence, and exclude diverse identities and experiences.
