I am an anthropologist in the Department of Global Health and Development, interested in health technology implementation within global public health settings. My research investigates how communities engage with health technologies in real-world settings, examining how people adapt, resist, and reshape health interventions to fit their lived realities, and how these technologies, in turn, transform communities.

With over 12 years of research experience based in Malawi and working across sub-Saharan Africa, I am interested in community-engaged research with marginalised populations, particularly female sex workers. My approach strategically combines ethnographic methods with participatory techniques, ensuring that community voices and experiences drive both research questions and policy recommendations.

My current research focuses on HIV prevention technologies, gender-based violence interventions, and diagnostic tools, positioning me at the forefront of understanding how health technologies are locally adapted and embedded within existing social structures across diverse cultural contexts.

I have held honorary positions at Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine since 2018 and Kamuzu University of Health Sciences, Malawi, since 2024, where I contribute to teaching and supervision of graduate students.
