I am a public health researcher with a background in economics and evaluation. Specifically, I have been involved in the design of population health interventions addressing HIV-related risk and service use and the evaluation of their economic and health impact through experimental and observational approaches. I aim to use novel methods to capture the values, preferences, and behaviours of high risk populations and to improve measurement of their broader costs and outcomes.

Research
My PhD evaluated whether uptake of HIV testing and treatment could be increased in Malawi from community-led delivery of HIV self-testing, through which mechanisms, and whether such an approach is efficient and cost-effective.
My current projects include: (i) Behavioural studies, including discrete choice experiments, of long-acting HIV prevention technologies in Kenya and Uganda (UPTAKE), (ii) Development of UNAIDS costing and budgeting guidelines for community-led HIV responses, (iii) Economic evaluation of a community HIV and STI programme in Zimbabwe (CHIEDZA), (iv) Stated preference research of TB medical decision-making in Peru, South Africa, Uganda, and Vietnam (FEND).
Previously, I worked on randomised trials and economic substudies of community HIV self-testing in Malawi (STAR).
