BIO

I am an epidemiologist with an interest in adolescent health, evaluation methods, and causal inference. I currently work on the MENISCUS trial to evaluate the impact of a school-based menstrual health intervention in Uganda on education and mental health. I am also undertaking a staff PhD focused on using causal inference approaches to understand mechanisms of action in complex interventions. Prior to joining LSHTM, I worked on the evaluation of mass media behaviour change campaigns and in global health communications. I obtained my MSc in Epidemiology from LSHTM and hold a BA in Human Biology with interdisciplinary honors from Stanford University.
