About

I am a Lecturer in Geographies of Health at University College London, specialising in spatial epidemiology and maternal health in low- and middle-income countries. My work sits at the intersection of public health, geospatial analysis, and social research, with a focus on generating actionable insights to improve health systems and outcomes.

Across academia and public health practice, I am committed to producing high-quality, policy-relevant research and supporting the next generation of scholars and practitioners in global health and geospatial data science.
