BIO

I am an environmental health researcher with interests in climate change, the built environment, and water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH). I graduated from LSHTM with an MSc in Public Health (Environment and Health Stream) in 2016. Following this I worked as a Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist at SEED Madagascar from 2017-2018, where I designed and coordinated the evaluation of a rural water supply intervention. I joined LSHTM in 2018 as the Clinical Trials Operations Coordinator for the DeWorm3 Project, a multi-country cluster randomised trial testing the feasibility of interrupting transmission of soil-transmitted helminthiasis in selected sites in Benin, Malawi and India. Between 2020 and 2025 I acted as the Trial Coordinator for the SABABU project, a cluster randomised trial investigating the contribution of household flooring to enteric and parasitic infections in two rural settings in Kenya. In 2026 I joined the HEARTH project to investigate the health impacts of UK climate mitigation and adaptation strategies.
