I am a medical anthropologist with research interests in global mental health, green spaces and health, sickle cell disease and trait, infant health, energy poverty and thermoregulation. I also have 5 years' experience as a senior public health specialist in the UK specialising in accident prevention for children and older people. I am currently working on 2 projects at LSHTM. One is the RESPONSE project, which is research into improving health systems responsiveness for vulnerable groups in Ghana and Vietnam using realist methodologies. The RESPONSE project has recently transferred from the University of Leeds. The other is the SUCCEED Africa project which is a research consortium taking a bottom-up approach to investigate what works for people with psychosis in their communities in Zimbabwe, Malawi, Sierra Leone and Nigeria. I also help support the Mental Health Innovation Network. I am also working with the AMIPS project on medicines pricing policies in sub-Saharan Africa

I have previous research experience in the UK, in particular working with ethnic minorities and also in Panama and Guatemala. I have experience with several mixed methods projects and have used qualitative methods of structured and semi-structured interviews, focus groups, telephone interviews, participant observation, literature reviews, photovoice, draw and write, experience-based co-design, surveys, and auto-ethnography. I am also on the Research, Evaluation ad Ethics Commitee for Save the Children (UK), for their research and evaluations conducted in LMICs.
