- Profile
-
I joined the University of Sheffield in 2019 as a Statistician and became Lecturer in Epidemiology and Statistics in 2022. My previous roles include Statistician at the University of Liverpool, Mathematics Coordinator and Statistician for a non-profit organisation in Guatemala, and Lecturer in Research Methods at Teesside University.
I teach quantitative research methods, epidemiology, medical statistics and critical appraisal at undergraduate and postgraduate level. My research interests include clinical trials, diagnostic accuracy studies and clinical risk prediction modelling. I supervise SSC, PGT and PGR students.
