I currently supervise graduate students and teach on selected modules across the Masters degree programmes. During my Ph.D. studies at UCL, I worked as a post-graduate teaching assistant, helping to deliver graduate-level courses and supervising student research projects. At UCL, I taught modules on mixed methods in health care research. I was awarded Associate Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (AFHEA). She continues to hold a visiting scientist and guest lecturer position at UCL and deliver lectures on global public health modules in the faculty of life sciences.

Research
I have conducted several global crowdsourcing open calls, in-person/digital hackathons for advancing global health equity. I co-led the development of the WHO/TDR Practical Guide on Public Engagement and Crowdfunding (ISBN: 978-92-4-003908-7) and led the systematic review that informed that guide. I built capacity for crowdfunding to support infectious diseases research in LMICs, including coordinating a TDR pilot program on crowdfunding. I have given several invited lectures focused on building capacity for crowdfunding for infectious diseases of poverty. In 2022 I co-led the development of the WHO/TDR Practical Guide on Health Research Mentorship in Low and Middle-Income Countries (HERMES).
