Health Policy Researcher

About Me

I am a PhD Student at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, studying public health and policy. I am also a Research Associate at the University of British Columbia, where I conduct research to support young people and their mental health. My research is driven by the belief that financial interests should not compromise or negatively impact population health and well-being.

Outside of research, I love the mountains. “It is not the mountain we conquer but ourselves.” – Sir Edmund Hillary
