- Profile
-
I have been working in the field of health research since 2001, initially doing lab-based research in immunology. After completing a Master of Public Health and Epidemiology (MPH) and an MA in ESST (European Studies of Science, Society, and Technology), I did several placements with the WHO, working on a polio immunisation programme and a research project on malaria in children in Ghana. In 2018, I completed a PhD in maternal obesity, titled: An mHealth intervention for pregnant women with obesity.
Currently, I am working with the Strategic Research Alliance with the Royal College of Nursing, on several research projects, including Safe and Effective Staffing. I am also involved in a Health Foundation funded mental health project and Gender and Mesothelioma (GEMS) study, for which I am conducting a secondary analysis of routine national data to provide information on sex-differences in the prevalence, incidence, mortality and stage of diagnosis of mesothelioma.
