BIO

I work as a Research Fellow in the Environmental Health Group, supporting three research studies: the Traitement Intégré de la Sous-Nutrition Aiguë (TISA) trial in northern Senegal, Urban Infant Foodscape (UIF) study in Kenya and Mozambique, and the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene for Everyone (W4E) trial in Malawi.

I also currently conduct research activities for the development of the upcoming guidelines on hand hygiene in community settings with the Water, Sanitation, Hygiene, and Health unit at the World Health Organization.

Prior to joining LSHTM, I worked on water quality monitoring and sanitation economics studies at Aquaya in Nairobi, Kenya. I hold a BSc in Environmental Science from the University of California, Davis, and a MSc in Public Health for Development from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine.
