I am currently pursuing a PhD which is funded by the MRC London Intercollegiate Doctoral Training Partnership (MRC-LID DTP). My project is exploring the causal pathways and mechanisms of action for a complex HIV prevention intervention (DREAMS interventions) among adolescent girls and young women in Kenya. I'm also aiming to document associated costs and sustainability of such an intervention. I have degrees in actuarial science (JKUAT) and medical statistics (LSHTM). I also support another project that is evaluating the impact of MTV Shuga, an edutainment campaign, on HIV prevention outcomes among young people in South Africa.

Teaching
I am a module tutor for the long distance (DL) course in advanced statistical methods in epidemiology (ASME, EPM304). I regularly monitor the DL Moodle forum for students and respond to queries relating to strategies of analysis (AS02) and analysis of quantitative outcomes (AS13), as well as marking student assignments and exams.
