My current research focuses on exploring inequalities in cancer outcomes by using electronic health records to extract and utilise patient data for describing, modelling, and understanding cancer diagnostic pathways.

My role allows me to collaborate closely with patients, clinicians, epidemiologists, public health specialists, social scientists, and fellow statisticians. These interdisciplinary interactions enrich my understanding of the experiences of patients and carers, particularly those on the margins of society, and ensure that our research addresses real-world challenges. This commitment to meaningful and relevance in health research is what drives my work.

I previously worked at the National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR) in Mwanza, Tanzania, where I focused primarily on infectious diseases, including HIV/AIDS. During my time at NIMR, I was awarded a research grant from the UK HIV Research Trust, which enabled me to contribute to studies at the Africa Health Research Institute (AHRI) in South Africa. At AHRI, I worked on a project examining access to and use of primary healthcare services among people living with tuberculosis in rural South Africa, with particular attention to their HIV status.
