I am a sociologist by training who specialises in qualitative research. My research primarily focuses on the evaluation of young people's sexual health programmes and HIV prevention. I am interested in using innovative approaches to qualitative methods including utilising digital media. I hold an MSc in Reproductive and Sexual Health Research from LSHTM. Prior to LSHTM, I worked for Kings College London, researching chronic pain among people living with HIV, and coordinated a maternal and infant health cohort study in the Eastern Cape of South Africa.
