- Profile
-
I am an early career researcher in the Health and Care Research Unit. Currently, I am an embedded researcher working on the Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) Workforce study funded by the NIHR Health and Social Care Delivery Research Programme. The study aims to identify, design, and implement professional support interventions using participatory, multi-case action research with VCSE organisations.
Previously, I undertook a PhD in public health funded by the White Rose ARC Doctoral Cohort. My thesis evaluated School Streets, a traffic restriction intervention, as a method to improve air quality, active travel and children’s safety and independence. I was also a Research Assistant for the Born in Bradford Research Program at the Bradford Institute for Health Research.
