I have recently started my first research post at ScHARR at the University of Sheffield. I work supporting senior staff on both research and consultancy projects producing economic models of the prevention and treatment of medical conditions. I began my academic career studying for my undergraduate degree at the University of Oxford Medical School. I left the world of clinical medicine behind in 2016 and went on to study Public Health at the University of Nottingham before joining ScHARR. My academic and research interests are varied; I have worked on projects on language acquisition in infants, the molecular mechanisms of Fragile X Syndrome, the health information systems in Sierra Leone, and the portrayal of menstrual periods in the UK print media, to name a few. My current research focus is on the prevention of type II diabetes.
