Research areas
I am working as a Research Fellow in the Population and Behavioural Science Division at the School of Medicine. I am a social scientist with a background in nursing. My research in 58³Ô¹Ï includes evaluation of the new models of care in primary care; people’s willingness to share health data from wearable devices with researchers, and conflicts of interest in health care. In 2019, I started a part-time PhD studies co-supervised by Professor Frank Sullivan, Dr Jo Inchley (University of Glasgow) and Dr Andrew James Williams (University of Edinburgh). My doctoral research investigates health inequalities among young people and utilises statistical analysis of the UK censuses and Scottish Longitudinal Study; and includes a systematic review of young people’s conceptualisation of health.
Before moving to 58³Ô¹Ï in 2017, I worked at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine at the Centre for Maternal and Newborn Health. My work focused on a large-scale maternal morbidity study, several evaluation studies, and facility data monitoring. I have completed the Master of Social Sciences degree at the University of Helsinki and the MA in Research Methodology at the University of Liverpool. I also hold BA degrees (Honours) in Social Work and Nursing.
