Biography

I am an interdisciplinary researcher with a background in social policy, currently working as a Research Fellow in the School of Human and Health Sciences. My work explores how social, economic and environmental conditions shape health and wellbeing, with recent projects focussing on housing and health inequalities, international nurse migration and integration and the role of green and blue spaces in addressing workforce and population health challenges.

Since joining Huddersfield in 2020, I have developed a track record of applied and mixed methods research across themes including housing quality and mental health, NHS workforce retention, migration and acculturation, flood risk and psychological resilience, homelessness and regional food systems. I have also contributed to the development of evaluation frameworks for community-based and third sector services.

My publications include peer-reviewed articles in Health & Place, Public Health, the Journal of Advanced Nursing, and the International Journal of Nursing Studies Advances, alongside commissioned reports for local authorities, NHS organisations and VCSE partners.

I have led and collaborated on research commissioned by UK government departments, Integrated Care Boards, housing providers and third sector organisations. Across these projects, my work is guided by a commitment to producing impactful and policy-relevant research that supports practical solutions to complex social challenges.
