About
I am a passionate advocate for evidence-based approaches to addressing health inequalities. My research focuses on understanding how place and environment impact health outcomes, particularly for vulnerable populations.
My academic journey began with studies in psychology and advanced statistical methods, which provided me with the foundation to pursue complex research questions using mixed methodologies. I am a renowned leader on designing and leading on public, patient, involvement, and co-production strategies to ensure voices of marginalised populations are central to research.
As Associate Dean for Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion at Southampton, I'm committed to creating more inclusive academic environments, with our community at its heart. This work complements my research interests in health disparities and access to care.
I believe that rigorous research has the power to transform lives. Whether I'm teaching research methods to students, supervising PhD students, mentoring early-career researchers, or collaborating with multidisciplinary teams on large grant-funded projects, my goal remains consistent: to generate knowledge that improves health services and outcomes for all.
