I am a medical anthropologist working interdisciplinarily in maternal health and neglected tropical diseases, in particular questions of equity, social justice and quality of care. I specialise in the ethnography of health care facilities, fieldwork that links the micro level with macro level questions, and researching the interpretation and adaptation of global health policy across systems, realities and contexts.

I studied socio-cultural anthropology (BA, Wesleyan University) and Medical anthropology (MSc, University College London) before completing a PhD at LSHTM undertaking ethnographic research on the trajectories of medical volunteers and patients involved with a faith-based humanitarian organisation, looking at the interplay between identity, health and belief.
