I am an epidemiologist with a focus on evaluation of community and hospital based interventions that aim to improve maternal, newborn and child health. My staff PhD uses mixed methods to evaluate a complex, health systems strengthening intervention in Malawian hospitals.
I have an MSc in Control of Infectious Diseases from LSHTM and a BA in Biological Sciences from the University of Oxford. I have experience working in the UK Health Security Agency and at an international global health NGO.

Teaching
I teach on the Health Care Evaluation module and previously taught on the Basic Statistics for Public Health module (2022–2025). I am a guest lecturer for MPH students at Institut Pasteur-CNAM, presenting on private sector healthcare in low- and middle-income countries. I have supervised six MSc Public Health students to completion, including two dissertation projects, and currently supervise two MSc Public Health students. I have also mentored two distance learning students.
Research
I am interested in evaluating complex interventions to improve maternal, newborn and child health.
My research has used a wide array of methods including cluster randomised trials, systematic reviews, cross-sectional studies, economic evaluation as well as mixed-methods research incorporating qualitative and participatory techniques.
I am currently working on the economic evaluation of a package of climate adaptation and mitigation interventions to improve access to and quality of care for mothers and newborns in sub-Saharan Africa as part of the EU-funded High Horizons project (https://www.high-horizons.eu/)
Previously I worked on the IMPRESS project (2021-2025) evaluating a complex, health systems strengthening intervention in Malawian hospitals (https://www.lshtm.ac.uk/research/centres-projects-groups/impress).
