I am a member of the Environmental Health Group at the School, researching water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) interventions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). I am particularly interested in behaviour change, quantitative methods and the gendered impacts of WASH. I have a BSc in Biochemistry and a Masters in Control of Infectious Diseases, which I completed at LSHTM.

Research

My work relates to WASH in schools (WinS), looking at current understanding of the relationship between WinS, health and education in LMICs, as well as the impacts of a comprehensive WinS/menstrual hygiene intervention in Ethiopia, with a particular focus on wellbeing and educational outcomes among girls. 

I also have an interest in school-based health research more broadly, and I am currently working on my PhD in Medical Statistics, exploring the design and analysis of school-based cluster-randomised trials evaluating pupil health interventions in LMICs.
