I am a Senior Lecturer at the GKT School of Medical Education, King’s College London, where I lead the cultural competency strand of the MBBS curriculum and oversee education and scholarship in this area. I also serve as the Human Values Block Lead in the Stage 1 Introduction to Values-based Clinical Practice module. My teaching spans clinical communication, cultural competence, values-based practice, and Scholar Projects.

Before taking up my lectureship, I was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at King’s College London, funded by the Economic and Social Research Council (ESRC) LISS DTP. I hold a PhD from King’s College London (2020) and an MSc from the London School of Economics and Political Science.

My research sits at the intersection of cultural competence, medical sociology, and healthcare education. I use qualitative and mixed-method approaches, including ethnography, interviews, focus groups, solicited diaries, and surveys, to explore social, cultural, and educational dimensions of healthcare.

My work focuses particularly on equality, diversity and inclusion in healthcare education, patient experiences, and the role of digital platforms and digital and AI technologies in healthcare communication. Across these areas, I am interested in how social, cultural, educational, and technological developments shape communication, experiences, and practices in healthcare.

I welcome PhD applications from candidates interested in qualitative or mixed-methods research, particularly in relation to these areas.
