Researcher

Biography

I worked clinically as an Occupational Therapist with people with serious mental illness before joining KCL in 2009 as a Research Assistant and PhD student working on the REFOCUS Programme which had the aim of making mental health services more recovery-focused. I then joined CLAHRC South London in 2015 working on interventions to improve the physical health of people with psychosis. 

I gained my PhD in 2015. 

In 2019 I moved to the Centre for Implementation Science as part of the evaluation team for the Integrating Mental and Physical Health Systems (IMPHS) programme which aims to improve the physical health of people using mental health services.
