Profile

I am currently a Research Associate working in the Sheffield Alcohol Research Group. I have been in Sheffield since 2013, when I began my undergraduate studies. I then joined the Master of Public Health course, from which I graduated with Distinction and was awarded the Hutchinson Prize in Public Health.

My PhD thesis applied theories of practice to develop alcohol epidemiology and policy analysis. I used data on how people drink alcohol (e.g. drinking beer in a pub or relaxing on the sofa) to identify contexts associated with heavy alcohol consumption within drinking occasions and to evaluate the effects of the Licensing Act 2003.
