I am an interdisciplinary researcher with a background in social policy, currently working as a Research Fellow at the University of Huddersfield. My work examines 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 research that spans housing quality and mental health, NHS workforce retention, migration and acculturation, homelessness, nd regional food systems. My publications include peer-reviewed articles in Health & Place, Public Health, the Journal of Advanced Nursing and the International Journal of Nursing Studies Advances, as well as commissioned reports for local authorities, NHS organisations, and charities.
I have led and contributed to research commissioned by UK government departments, health and care partnerships, housing organisations and third sector bodies. Across these projects, my work is guided by a commitment to producing applied, policy-relevant research that informs practical solutions to complex social challenges.
