I joined LSHTM in 2021 as a Research Assistant after graduating from the London School of Economics with a MSc in Health and International Development. 

My background is in communications and I have experience working at a healthcare communications agency and with UN agencies including OHCHR, UNICEF and UNDP.

I am interested in public health and the relationship between environment and human health.

Research

I currently work on the Pathfinder Initiative, which aims to find pathways to a healthy, zero carbon future by synthesising and assessing evidence on implemented climate mitigation actions. The findings will be published in a Lancet Commission report ahead of COP27. The project is funded by the Wellcome Trust, with support from the Oak Foundation, and the Lancet Commission is co-chaired by the RT. Hon. Helen Clark, Ms. Joy Phumaphi and Prof. Sir. Andy Haines.
