After graduating from Birmingham Medical School in 2013, I started my training in General/Acute Medicine in London. I completed my Diploma in Tropical Medicine & Hygiene in Peru (the Gorgas course) in 2016 and my MSc in Global Health Science at the University of Oxford in 2018, on an scholarship jointly awarded by the Nuffield Department of Population Health and the Medical Research Council (MRC). Following my MSc, I started Public Health specialty training and have gained experience in communicable disease control and health policy at local and national governmental level. In 2021, I was awarded a Centenary Fellowship at the Hospital for Tropical Diseases where I continue to work in the Chagas clinic with Professors David Moore and Peter Chiodini.
I am currently an MRC-funded Clinical Research Fellow. My PhD aims to understand the epidemiology of Chagas disease among Latin American migrants in London, with a view to informing an effective and equitable screening programme. I hold grants from ESCMID, HTD Charitable Fund and LSHTM for Chagas community engagement work with the UK Chagas Hub.
