I completed a Postdoctoral Fellowship at the CIHR Social Research Centre in HIV Prevention, Dalla Lana School of Public Health, University of Toronto. I received my PhD from the Department of Infectious Disease Epidemiology, LSHTM, where I partnered with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to evaluate HIV treatment outcomes among refugees and local host communities in Kenya and Malaysia. I am a member of the Public Health in Humanitarian Crises Group and an Associate Managing Editor for the journal Conflict & Health.
