BIO

I am an epidemiologist with an interest in strengthening the evidence base for effective adolescent health interventions through the evaluation of complex interventions and application of causal inference methods. My current work spans adolescent mental health, menstrual health, violence prevention, and multimorbidity, as well as the design and conduct of cluster randomised trials and longitudinal cohort analyses. 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.
