Profile

I am a researcher in health equity at the Health Equity Evidence Centre, where I specialise in systematically reviewing evidence to identify effective strategies for addressing health and care inequalities. With my background as a medical doctor, I gained extensive experience in rural primary care healthcare settings and critical care management, graduating from Griffith University in Australia in 2019. 

Passionate about global and digital health, I also completed the Global Health Primer for Doctors course at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine in 2023 (LSHTM). Building on this foundation, I most recently earned a Master of Public Health (MScPH) from LSHTM in 2024, focusing my dissertation on applications of artificial intelligence in primary care. I furthered my knowledge by also completing a specialised course on AI in healthcare through the MIT Sloan School of Management.
