Background

I graduated from the University of Cambridge in 2005 with a first class degree in Natural Sciences, having specialised in Pathology. I obtained my Masters in Reproductive and Sexual Health Research from LSHTM in 2007.

Teaching

For the academic year 2008-9 I have facilitated practical sessions, lectured, or marked assessments for the following MSc modules: Statistics for EPH, Analysis and Design of Research Studies, Basic Epidemiology, Basic Demography, and Research Design and Analysis.

Research

My research examines the development of UK policies to tackle human trafficking, with a particular focus on how the health and rights of trafficked persons have been considered in the policy process.

My research is funded by the ESRC.
