I am a full-time PhD candidate based in the Faculty of Public Health and Policy at LSHTM. My doctoral research explores socioeconomically disadvantaged parent’s experiences of accessing childhood vaccination services in England using a qualitative longitudinal cohort study design. This PhD is funded by a PhD Studentship in Vaccines & Immunisation award supplied by the NIHR Health Protection Research Unit in Immunisation (a research partnership between LSHTM, Cambridge University, and the UK Health Security Agency).

Before joining LSHTM, I was a Research Consultant at RREAL, a lab based within the Department of Targeted Intervention at University College London (UCL). As part of this role, I co-ordinated and implemented numerous qualitative research projects in the field of healthcare improvement for organisations such as the NHS, WHO, and Collective Service. I also worked with colleagues on methodological innovations in rapid qualitative research through co-authoring several papers, training materials, and a book chapter.

I have completed a MSc in Health Psychology and a BSc in Psychology; these were conducted at UCL and Royal Holloway respectively.
