Biography
I am a postdoctoral Research Associate in the Department of Vascular Risk and Surgery, School of Cardiovascular Medicine and Sciences, Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine. I have a Master of Pharmacy (MPharm) degree from Queen’s University Belfast (2012-2016) and a PhD in Cardiovascular Medical Research (2017-2021), investigating the role of sodium and fluid homeostasis in hypertension which was funded by the British Heart Foundation. After finishing my PhD, my postdoctoral research project was a joint clinical study between King’s College London and the University of Cambridge investigating salt-sensitivity in the pathogenesis of hypertension. In May 2024, I was awarded one of five Postdoctoral Clinical Research Excellence Fellowships for Clinical Academics from the King's Health Partners Centre for Translational Medicine where I am now conducting research into personalised medicine for hypertension and working as a pharmacist at St. Thomas' Hospital.
I am a member of the European Society of Hypertension Young Investigator Committee and an Early Career Researcher representative of the British and Irish Hypertension Society. I was awarded Early Career Researcher of the Year at the BIHS 2023 Annual Scientific Meeting and ARTERY Young Investigator Award 2023 in Germany.
Building on my background in clinical pharmacy and clinical scientific research, I have a focused drive to pursue a clinical academic career pathway.
