I am a first-year PhD student within the Health Protection Research Unit in Vaccines & Immunisation, exploring the role of fathers in the UK in their children's vaccination journeys. I am interested in fatherhood, family and futurity within diverse social and cultural contexts. I aim to apply anthropological methods practically towards public health outcomes, while remaining rooted in social, anthropological and psychoanalytic theory.

I have previously conducted ethnographic work in the UK and Hungary as part of an MSc in Medical Anthropology at UCL, exploring imagined futures among groups of activists concerned with existential risk. I have also collaborated on social science research into maternal and neonatal infection and vaccination in Uganda, Kenya and Malawi, and retain a consultative role and ongoing interest in working with colleagues in East Africa in these research areas. I also previously worked as a Clinical Trials Manager on vaccinology trials in the same region.

I recently conducted a sociologically-informed, prospective bioethical analysis of an experimental controlled human infection model, and I currently serve as a member of the Animal Welfare Ethical Review Body for City St George's, University of London.
