I have a particular interest in evaluation of community and hospital based interventions that aim to improve access to and quality of care for newborn and child health.
My PhD aims to understand how strengthening management practices can enhance quality of care and improve newborn survival in the context of Malawian hospitals.
I have a BA in Biological Sciences from the University of Oxford where I specialised in infectious diseases and an MSc in Control of Infectious Diseases from LSHTM. After my MSc, I gained experience as an epidemiologist at Public Health England, working to understand inequalities in coverage of national immunisation programmes. I later moved into global health research at the Malaria Consortium, where I conducted implementation research to evaluate community-based interventions to tackle childhood diseases.

Teaching
I teach on the Basic Statistics for Public Health module. I have been a guest lecturer for MPH students at Intitut Pasteur-CNAM presenting on “Private Sector Healthcare in Low and Middle-Income Countries”. I have supervised six MSc Public Health students including one dissertation project. I have also mentored two distance learning students.
Research
I work on the IMPRESS project which examines whether enhanced hospital management practices can drive improvements in newborn survival and the quality of clinical care in Malawi. This multi-component research project includes formative research, observational research, the development of a theory of a change to inform the co-design of an intervention, a cluster randomised controlled trial, a process evaluation, and an economic evaluation.
