About me
I am a senior lecturer in Public Health at UWE Bristol and co-Programme Lead for the BSc Public Health Pracititioner Degree Apprenticeship. I am also module lead for Introduction to Health Protection (BSc Public Health Apprenticeship), Health Protection (MSc Public Health) and Principles of Evidence Based Public Health (PGDip Specialist Community Public Health Nursing). Prior to UWE I was a senior Epidemiologist at the UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) working within the Epidemiology and Modelling for Emergency Preparedness, Resilience and Response team.
I have a strong knowledge base of Health Protection in the United Kingdom relating to both communicable disease and environmental factors effecting human-health and disease. Whilst working for the UK Health Security agency (formerly Public Health England) I was involved in an extensive number of projects on topics including COVID-19, Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), Vector-borne diseases and PPI/E events. I have worked with an range of national and international organisations including the UKHSA, PHE, NHS, Department of Health and Social Care, National Crime Agency, UK overseas territories (UKOTs), European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), Nigeria Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) and The Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.
My research interests focus on the communication of global infectious diseases, particularly those with epidemic or pandemic potential. I care deeply about disparities in public health interventions, and I want to continue to research and develop innovative ideas to reduce healthcare inequities and the burden of disease.
