I have a background background in Human Geography, and have developed expertise in both physical and mental health promotion. I have an MSc in Global Mental Health and Society from The University of Edinburgh. Through this course I developed a critical approach to mental health policies and programmes across a range of international contexts. I am particularly interested in how our wider society and environment influences our perceptions and emotional wellbeing. This led me to focus on the relationship between consumer culture and emotional health during my MSc thesis.

I bring an in depth understanding of the interlinked nature of physical and mental health, through my previous employment as a Personal Trainer. I am a fully qualified PT and Weightlifting Coach, and feel driven to work towards increasing levels of physical activity to harness co-benefits for both human and environmental health.

I currently work within a consultancy firm across a range of projects that aim to improve health outcomes through catalysing positive transformation within health and care services. I specialise in evaluating public health services and programmes.
