Following completion of my postgraduate studies in 2007 I worked for 6 years at the University of Manchester's Centre for Musculoskeletal Research as a project coordinator and research associate, including a short internship at the Boston University Data Coordinating Center in 2009. In 2013 I moved to Edinburgh to join the Edinburgh Clinical Trials Unit (ECTU) as a trial manager responsible for the coordination of multi-centre phase IV clinical trials and epidemiological studies in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (including the TOPPIC trial  - ISRCTN89489788) and Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI).

Following my clinical experience (ICU neurology; Clinical Psychology – older adults) and research experience (psychological and medical health, post prostate cancer treatment patients; Cardiff University), I completed a doctoral research at the University of Edinburgh, Centre for Population Health Science, College of Medicine and Veterinary Medicine. I conducted an epidemiological study, specifically a prospective investigation of the complex role of markers of systemic inflammation, cardiovascular risk factors, psychological and genetic variants in aetiology and trajectory of age-related brain impairment and decline.

I currently work as an Academic Tutor (University of Edinburgh, MSc in Clinical Trials) and as an Associate Lecturer (The Open University; Psychology, Statistics).

I am also involved in a PRO relevant projects and consultancy work within a pharmaceutical industry. My key area of interest is a health outcome research and pharmacoepidemiology research.
