Bio:

I am a Senior Program Associate at Open Philanthropy working on the Global Public Health Policy Program. I focus on grantmaking and research aiming to eliminate lead exposure through the Lead Exposure Action Fund (LEAF). 

Previously, I was co-lead on the Global Health and Development team at Rethink Priorities, senior partner lead for the Stopping Tobacco Organizations and Products (STOP) Partnership, a Research Fellow at the University of Bath, and a postdoctoral fellow at Monash University. My academic work focused on epidemiology, policy research and advocacy around the commercial and structural determinants of health. 


I have an MPhil and PhD in Global Public Health from the University of Cambridge and a BSc in Biology from Imperial College London.
