I graduated in 2002 from the University of Sheffield with a BSc in Biochemistry & Microbiology. I then made the move from molecular science into epidemiology and public health by studying for the MSc Control of Infectious Diseases at LSHTM.

Since completing my Masters in 2004, I have been involved in a number of different projects at the School, related to malaria and water and sanitation. My interests are in delivery systems for disease control interventions, and monitoring and evaluation of their equity.

Teaching

I am a co-organiser of the Epidemiology & Control of Malaria study module. I also teach on the Applying Principles of Public Health in Developing Countries and Analysis & Design of Research Studies in-house study modules. I am a personal tutor for the MSc Public Health in Developing Countries (PHDC).

Research

Current projects include: multi-disciplinary evaluation of a community-based intervention to improve prompt & effective treatment of malaria in rural Senegal; systematic literature review on community case management of malaria; systematic literature review on effectiveness of strategies strengthening national health service delivery to increase health service access in low income countries; investigation of quality improvement strategies for control of malaria in pregnancy in Kenya & Mali (as part of the Malaria in Pregnancy Consortium).
