I have been based at LSHTM for nearly twenty years, during which time I have held various roles across research and education. Building on my background as an active researcher, I now hold an education-focused role, working with academic colleagues to oversee the strategic design and development of redesigned MSc programmes. I collaborate across EPH and other faculties to ensure new modules are pedagogically aligned and provide a consistent, high-quality experience for students.
Affiliations
Teaching
I am currently the Academic Co-Lead for the new programmes project, alongside my roles as Module Organiser for core and advanced distance learning modules, including Statistics for Epidemiology (EPM102) and Cluster Randomised Trials (CTM209). As a module organiser, I curate research-led, digital content and manage the full assessment lifecycle, supported by teams of tutors.
My experience in academic management includes serving as MSc Programme Director for Clinical Trials, where, in collaboration with other Programme Directors, I led the academic management and delivery of the MSc in Clinical Trials distance learning program. Furthermore, I have a strong background in curriculum innovation, having previously collaborated with colleagues in ISEG to design the learning objectives and materials for the face-to-face short course in the Design & Analysis of Cluster Randomised and Stepped Wedge Trials.
Research
Before my education-focused role at LSHTM, I held a research-based role as a statistical epidemiologist. My research focused on diverse global health challenges, including HIV/STI prevention, infectious diseases, nutrition, and cancer.
