I have worked in range of fields including public policy, public health, health and social care policy and governance.

Research interests
- I have a background in thematic analysis and the use of the NVivo analytical software. Furthermore, I have experience in project co-ordination and management.
Current research
I am currently working on the NIHR funded study: The Development and Validation of Population Clusters for Integrating Health and Social Care study, led by Dr Hajira Dambha-Miller at University of Southampton and Professor Andrew Farmer at University of Oxford. This programme of work is using machine learning to identify clusters of diseases on the basis of social factors, such as mobility and finances, as well as health and biological markers. This information will be used to understand the health and social care needs of people within each cluster over time and develop tailored treatment approaches that join up health and social care.
