I am an Epidemiologist by training (MSc & PhD, LSHTM), with skills in quantitative and qualitative research and conducting reviews. My research over the last 10+ years has focussed mainly on the evaluation of HIV and Sexual Reproductive Health programmes in sub-Saharan African countries, while based at the LSHTM, as well as in a European context during a post-doc position at UCL. Most recently I have led data analysis working groups for the evaluation of 'DREAMS' (a combination HIV prevention programme for adolescent girls and young women) and the 'LINEA' trial (a complex intervention to reduce age-disparate transactional sex). I am also a co-investigator on an evidence review of gender-transformative approaches for HIV prevention/ improving SRH outcomes. I now balance my research with a role as co-Programme Director for the Distance-Learning MSc in Epidemiology, following over 10 years teaching on the programme, including as module organiser for EPM301 Epidemiology of Infectious Diseases. I am based across two departments at LSHTM - Population Health, within the faculty of Epidemiology and Population Health, and Global Health and Development, within the faculty of Public Health Policy. Prior to training in Epidemiology, I worked for several years in health-focussed market research, based in London and Princeton USA, after completing a Masters in Biochemistry (Oxford University).
