I am an Assistant Professor focusing primarily on qualitative methodologies in process and outcome evaluations. I am particularly interested in realist approaches to understanding how, for whom, and under what conditions interventions appear to improve health. My PhD was the first evaluation of the philosophical cogence and feasibility of running a realist RCT. My current work focuses on the health and wellbeing on young children, adolescents, women, and those living in heightened vulnerability to adverse weather.
