I post-graduated with an MSc in Control of Infectious Diseases from LSHTM (2005) and an MSc in International Health Management from Imperial College Business School (2006). Prior to my postgraduate studies, I worked as a nurse/project coordinator for Médecins Sans Frontières on communicable disease control programmes in Afghanistan, Chad, DRC and Ethiopia (2003-2004). I obtained my BScN from Universite Laval in 2001 (Quebec, Canada).
Since August 2007, I have been working as Research Fellow in the Communicable Diseases Policy Research Group (www.cdprg.org) in the Department of Global Health and Development. Based in Bangkok, I currently act as Journal Development Officer for Health Policy and Planning (www.heapol.oxfordjournals.org).
Affiliation
Teaching
I have been a marker and tutor on the communicable disease control distance learning module since 2008.
Research
From January to July 2011, I was involved in a systematic review of the interface between HIV and TB programmes and health systems in eight Southeast Asian countries, and also in a comparative study on the integration of HIV and TB programmes into the mainstream health systems of Indonesia, Lao PDR, PNG and Thailand (funded by the Global Fund).
Between 2007 and 2010, my primary research focus was at the legal/public health interface in responses to pandemic influenza in Europe (PHLawFlu project, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20815888). Other research activities included the analysis of EU/EEA national governments' guidance on business continuity planning for pandemic influenza (2007-8, funded by Roche), the evaluation of more than 50 African and European national strategic plans for pandemic influenza (2008, funded by UN-PIC), support for the 4th global progress report on responses to avian influenza (2008, funded by UNSIC), and the development of a case study on integration of the HIV and TB programmes into the mainstream health system of Vietnam (2008-9, funded by the World Bank).
I have a particular interest in public health law and I am currently studying for a law degree (LLB) in order to bridge by public health background to law.
