I am a Research Fellow, working on School Health and Nutrition with particular focus on generating independent, robust, compelling, and actionable evidence on school health and nutrition. My work sits at the intersection of Nutrition, Diets and Food Systems and is aimed at providing access to quality research and guidance on policy and practice around School Health and Nutrition programming especially in Low- and Middle-Income Countries. Prior to joining LSHTM, I have worked with various development agencies for over a decade, notably the African Development Bank Project, GIZ, Plan International, Pan African Institute for Development and USDA McGovern-Dole Food for Education and Child Nutrition funded programme in Cameroon implemented by Nascent Solutions. Within the Research Consortium for School Health and Nutrition at LSHTM, I have served as Co-Chair for Nutrition CoP and currently serves as Co-Chair for the Diet and Food Systems CoP. I am also the Research Consortium’s co-lead for the Rockefeller Foundation Big Bet for Planet-friendly School Meals and a member of the Global School Health and Nutrition Special Interest Group on School Feeding within the UK Nutrition Society as well as a Working Group Member on the Quality Assurance Framework on Nutrition in Africa. I hold a PhD in International and Rural Development from the University of Reading (UK) and Masters in International Development from the University of Sheffield (UK) with funding from the Commonwealth Scholarship Commission and Chevening respectively.
