Educational/professional background
I studied Biomedical sciences as my undergraduate degree at The University of Manchester and then worked for a few years in medical communications before starting my MSc Public Health.
Research interests or career goals
I have a range of interests currently, including the impact of climate change on health, maternal health and reproductive health in adolescents. I am interested in working within the health promotion field and I’m looking forward to seeing where the degree will lead me.
Why I chose LSHTM/my programme
I became aware of the great work that LSHTM does whilst working in an immunology lab at the LSHTM unit, The Gambia during my undergraduate degree. This sparked my interest in further study and the LSHTM programme has a great reputation. I chose this course because I wanted to gain a broader understanding of public health and develop some of the key skills I would need for a future career in this field. The vast experiences and backgrounds of fellow students have been an added bonus!
