I joined the Centre for Health Economics and Medicine Evaluation (CHEME) in January 2022 and I currently work as a Research Officer in public health economics. I'm particularly interested in women’s health from perimenopause to later life, as well as wellbeing throughout the life course, and the role of lifestyle factors in optimising health and wellbeing.

I specialise in the health economics techniques of Social Return on Investment (SROI) and Cost Consequence Analysis (CCA), as well as working on projects using Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) evaluation techniques.

I have experience of evidence synthesis through carrying out scoping, rapid and systematic reviews. As part of my current role in CHEME I also support the Health and Care Research Wales Evidence Centre for their rapid evidence synthesis reviews.

Previous to joining CHEME I completed a MRes in Exercise Physiology at Bangor University and provided support for exercise rehabilitation trials in a RPSO role from 2022-23. 

My initial scientific training (BSc and PhD) was in biochemistry and genetics at Cardiff University. I also worked for 8 years in commercial roles as a data analyst in customer behaviour analysis and financial analysis. I also have 14 years’ experience working part-time as a tutor teaching Welsh to Adults, including organising and running short courses.
