I am a veterinarian and registered RCVS Specialist in Veterinary Public Health. My interests encompass food safety, antimicrobial resistance, pandemic preparedness and environmental epidemiology. In my research I’ve used a systems approach to explore climate determinants of disease transmission from livestock to people through shared watersheds, dissemination of AMR into the agricultural environment, and conducted consultancies on national and regional preparedness capacities for (emerging) infectious disease spillover.

I recently led a climate change and health policy project in Kenya using evidence synthesis and modelling approaches to provide decision-support to policymakers, was a co-investigator on a climate change and pandemic preparedness project in SSA funded by IDRC, and currently conduct health impacts modelling applied to synthetic populations.

I previously worked in veterinary practice and shelter medicine in Canada and the UK. Prior to joining LSHTM, I led veterinary capacity building programs to support humane free-roaming dog population control and canine rabies prevention in Ukraine and the Balkans. I have appointments to committees within the RCVS and British Veterinary Association and am affiliated with the Centre on Climate Change and Planetary Health.
