BIO
I am a pharmacoepidemiologist and data manager based in the Electronic Health Records (EHR) group researching drug safety using primary care data. I joined LSHTM in 2022 as a data manager, working on cardiovascular clinical trials. Before this I worked as an epidemiologist at UCL, primarily in pharmacovigilance undertaking post-authorisation safety studies (PASS) evaluating paediatric HIV medications. During my time there, I also completed a PhD (2020) in epidemiology exploring determinants of non-communicable disease in people living with HIV. I have an MSc in Veterinary Epidemiology from LSHTM and a Bachelor of Veterinary Medicine & Surgery (BVM&S) from the University of Edinburgh.
