I am a Project Coordinator in the International Centre for Eye Health, Clinical Research Department, Faculty of Infectious & Tropical Diseases. I support PIs Professor Matthew Burton and Dr Esmael Habtamu Ali.
The International Centre for Eye Health (ICEH, iceh.lshtm.ac.uk) is an interdisciplinary group of more than fifty research clinicians, public health specialists, epidemiologists, laboratory scientists and research assistants. The ICEH team collaborates closely with academic, Ministry of Health and NGO partners from around the world, working to improve eye health in low- and middle-income countries.
I hold a Diplôme d’Etudes en Langue et Culture Françaises (2008) from the Université d'Angers, France, and Higher Certificate in Business in Small Business Enterprise (2010) from the Waterford Institute of Technology, Ireland. From 2008 to 2011 I worked as Operations and Relationships Manager with Sightrisk Ltd., a start-up company based in Waterford, Ireland, which provides online risk assessment tools for age-related macular degeneration (AMD). From 2011 to 2014 I worked as Research Administrator at the Macular Pigment Research Group, Waterford Institute of Technology.
I started working with ICEH and LSHTM in September 2014.
