Profile

I joined ScHARR (HEDS) as a Research Associate in April 2021.

Prior to this I was a PhD student in ScHARR. I began my PhD at the University of Sheffield in September 2016 as part of the first cohort of the Four-year Wellcome Trust PhD programme in Public Health, Economics and Decision Science. My PhD research was on the use of psychological variables in a health economic model of obesity.

I completed a Psychology degree at the University of Surrey in 2012 and a MSc in health psychology at King’s College London in 2015. 

Current projects

I am employed to work on health economic modelling associated with the NIHR PGfAR Scalable behavioural weight management programmes for the prevention and treatment of type 2 diabetes grant.
