I am a social science researcher specialising in systematic review and evidence synthesis.

My current role is to coordinate & develop evidence synthesis methods around the interconnections between the environment and human health. Previous work has informed national policy customers including the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) and the Home Office.
