I have been at the LSHTM since 2007 and have held both research-oriented and education-oriented roles. I currently hold a part-time education-focused role as Module Organiser for the MSc in Global Health Policy. Prior to the LSHTM, I worked for a few years as a nurse in Ethiopia, DR Congo, Chad, Afghanistan and Canada.
My educational background is in nursing (BSc, Universite Laval, Canada) with postgraduate specialisations in communicable diseases control (MSc, LSHTM, UK) and health management (MSc, Imperial College Business School, UK). I also have a Postgraduate Certificate in Learning and Teaching (PGCILT, LSHTM) and I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy.

Teaching
I have been Module Organiser for the Project module (equivalent of the 'MSc Summer Project' or 'MSc Dissertation') on the distance learning MSc in Global Health Policy since August 2014. From 2008 to 2012, I was marker and tutor on the communicable disease control distance learning module.
Research
My current research interest is linked to my current role as Module Organiser in the DL programme and focuses on student engagement and satisfaction in the context of distance learning studies. Between 2007-2014, I worked with the Communicable Diseases Policy Research Group on various projects funded by the Global Fund, European Commission, United Nations, the World Bank and Roche. My research foci were on 1) public health law and pandemic influenza, 2) integration of HIV and TB programmes into mainstream health systems, and 3) corporate and public pandemic preparedness policies.
