I joined The School in 2008. I graduated from BSc Biology with a Year in Europe from Imperial College London in 2006. Following my interest in infectious diseases and development, I completed the MSc Control of Infectious Diseases at the LSHTM in 2007. After finishing my MSc, I volunteered and worked as consultant for Christian Aid for six months.
I then worked for two years as a Research Assistant at the School on the application of macro-economics to health and the economics of globalization and health, before becoming a research degree student.
