Biography:

I am a population health researcher with diverse experience across fields including global and migrant health, infectious diseases and mental health. I am particularly interested in how global diseases have an impact in specific local populations, including migrants and other marginalised groups. Most of my research has focused on tuberculosis (TB) and its bidirectional intersections with stress, mental health and stigma, in both high- and low-incidence settings. I have used mixed methods and participatory approaches to answer these questions, with a particular interest in the use of co-design to work with affected communities to develop impactful interventions.
