About me

I am an Associate Professor in Healthy Ageing, with a research focus on ageing, dementia and community-based health and social care. My work seeks to address inequalities in access to support and improve outcomes for older people, particularly those living with dementia and their families through co-produced, impactful research.

My interests include how social, cultural, and geographical contexts shape experiences of ageing and dementia, with a focus on underserved populations, particularly in ethnically diverse communities and people living in rural and coastal areas. I have led and contributed to a range of funded research programmes, working closely with people with lived experience, healthcare professionals and community organisations to ensure that research findings translate into meaningful change.

I have a particular interest in developing creative approaches to research engagement to support the inclusion of people and communities whose voices are often absent from research and service development.

Alongside my research, I am passionate about supporting the next generation of researchers through postgraduate supervision, mentorship, and research capacity-building activities. Through my work, I aim to contribute to more inclusive, equitable, and person-centred health and social care systems that enable people and communities to age well.

Area of expertise

I am an experienced project manager and use both qualitative and quantitative methods in my research and evaluation work.
