Biography

I joined the Complexity in Health Improvement Programme at the MRC/CSO Social and Public Health Sciences Unit in November 2021. My role involves coordinating the SPIRIT|CONSORT-SURROGATE project.

My background is in public health having obtained a BSc (First class) in Environmental Health from Moi University, MSc (with Distinction) in Public Health from UWE Bristol, and PhD in Social and Public Health science from the University of Glasgow.

I worked previously in research positions at APHRC, UWE Bristol, KEMRI Wellcome Trust and Aquaya Institute.
