I want malaria modelling to be useful and accessible to those who rely on their outputs. I am senior research scientist with the Institute for Disease Modeling (IDM) where I support collaborations between IDM and research and programmatic partners who use model outputs for decision making. I joined IDM after a decade with the Malaria Atlas Project at University of Oxford where I was the Director of Malaria Mapping for Elimination. I facilitated technical support to Clinton Health Access Initiative from MAP for countries working towards malaria elimination. My other work focused on estimating the global burden of Plasmodium vivax malaria. Vivax malaria will always be my favorite malaria and I will always be a high school teacher at heart.
