What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead impactful public health research and evidence-synthesis projects, collaborate with global health partners, mentor researchers, and strengthen the use of high-quality evidence in health systems and policy.

I manage end-to-end research and consultancy projects at Collaboration for Evidence Synthesis, including WHO-funded work on traditional, complementary and integrative medicine and vaccine and immunisation taxonomy. I lead project delivery, develop proposals, mentor researchers, and produce systematic review outputs.

I've contributed to WHO- and UNICEF-linked public health research spanning digital health, early childhood development, non-communicable diseases, health systems strengthening, and implementation research. My work combines systematic, scoping and rapid reviews with qualitative research, stakeholder engagement, training, and scientific writing.
