I obtained my MSc in Medical Statistics from LSHTM in 2016 and am presently completing a part-time PhD in Social Epidemiology. I have previously held research posts at McGill University and Oxford University.
Affiliations
Teaching
I was module organiser for for the Social Epidemiology course for several years, where I delivered sessions on theory, measurement, multivariate methods, and causality. I also lecture on causality on the DL Advanced Statistical Methods in Epidemiology module and lead practical sessions across statistical courses at LSHTM, with a particular interest in the R programming language. I am also an Associate Lecturer in Epidemiology & Public Health at Birkbeck.
Research
My primary research interest is in the intersection of causal inference and social epidemiology. My applied work has specifically focussed on measuring the impact of complex social exposures on a number of public health areas including HIV, tuberculosis, and interpersonal violence. The role of social protection in TB control is a particular area of applied interest, and working closely with Dr Delia Boccia, I have collaborated on this topic with a number of partners from international organisations such as the WHO, WFP, and UNICEF.
At the School, I presently work as a social epidemiologist with Prof Karen Devries in the Child Protection Research Group, primarily on measurement of violence and causes and consequences of early life violence.
