Profile

I joined the ±¬ÁÏTV within the Clinical Trials Research Unit (CTRU) in December 2024 as a Research Assistant working on the StratCare-2, and MEErKAT trials.

My academic background is mathematics and statistics having studied Mathematics at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan). Following completion of my degree, I studied Secondary Education for Mathematics at Edge Hill University and taught in the Blackpool area for 6 months. I would then begin my research career at UCLan in 2018, focusing in areas such as stroke care, midwifery, and community services. During my time at UCLan, I also delivered teaching sessions to colleagues and postgraduate students on subjects including statistics and survey design.
