I have a varied research background including implementation research to improve malaria service delivery; field trials to support introduction of pneumonia diagnostic aids for community health workers and epidemiological studies to assess socio-demographic predictors of national vaccine coverage in England. My first degree was in Biological Sciences from the University of Oxford and I have an MSc in Control of Infectious Diseases from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. After my MSc, I gained experience at Public Health England and then worked in the research team at the iNGO Malaria Consortium, during which time I worked with UN bodies, National Malaria Control Progrmmes and philanthropic donors to evaluate community-based interventions to tackle key childhood diseases. I also supported initiatives to strengthen research capacity across the organisation.

Teaching
I teach on the Basic Statistics for Public Health and Policy module.
Research
I work on the IMPRESS project which examines whether enhanced hospital management practices can drive improvements in newborn survival and the quality of clinical care in Malawi. This multi-component research project includes formative research, observational research, the development of a theory of a change to inform the co-design of an intervention, a cluster randomized controlled trial, a process evaluation, and an economic evaluation.
