Staff Profile

I am a NIHR School of Public Health Research (SPHR) Pre Doctoral Fellow at Fuse - The Centre for Translational Research in Public Health, based at Newcastle University. My area of focus is health systems research and health policy research, particularly using qualitative methodologies to drive translational studies. I am a trained dentist qualified in Dental Public Health.

I previously worked with the Public Health Foundation of India (PHFI), New Delhi, India to research into strengthening policy for tobacco control and alcohol control as well as reduce the risks associated with non-communicable diseases. I am currently interested in expanding my research into understanding policy drivers of varied health outcomes in people living with multiple long term conditions.
