I am a trained physiotherapist with experience in both the UK and Japan, currently working as a Research Fellow at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM) and the NIHR Policy Research Unit in Reproductive Health. My special interest lies in participatory and community-engaged approaches to sexual and reproductive health among people with disabilities.
My works primarily entail methodologies that include designathons, crowdsourcing, and semi-structured, in-depth interviews. Currently, my research focuses on identifying barriers and facilitators related to abortion, HPV vaccination, and cervical cancer screening, particularly in the UK and Japan.
