BIO
I have a BA in political science from Vassar College and an MA in Legal & Political Theory from University College London (UCL). I have studied, worked and lived in Kenya and Tanzania since 2008, with research consulting firms, think tanks and non-profits. This experience in policy research spaces lends itself to my teaching on health policy at LSHTM. I also worked as a research consultant for UZIKWASA, a community organisation in Pangani, Tanzania engaging communities in developing grassroots social change. With a background in political theory, my main research focus at LSHTM is on community engagement in emergent disease outbreaks.
