I joined LSHTM as a Research Degree Student in January 2016 part-time while working at Sanofi Pasteur as Regional Epidemiologist AMESA (Africa, Middle-East, South Asia) on dengue and meningitis disease burden studies.

My prior health work experience includes working at the Malaria Consortium, The World Bank, Tufts-New England Medical Centre, and the Public Health Department of the Municipal Council in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

I did my MSc at LSHTM in PHDC in August 2007. I also have a MA in Communications & Technology at Georgetown University, and a BA in Biology from Clark University.

As an epidemiologist, I have focused exclusively on infectious disease epidemiology, specifically in Malaria, Dengue, and Meningitis. My research interests have also been in e-Health/mHealth initiatives, surveillance system strenthening, and projects working with community health workers.
