I am collaborative, results-driven and passionate about meaningful research and policy development, with over 14 years of experience working in social research and evaluation for public health policy and programming. I have devoted my career and PhD in public health to supporting the end of violence against women and children in a diverse range of contexts. With extensive experience in stakeholder coordination and project management, my expertise is in producing high-level, rigorous reports of sensitive datasets from multiple sources, in dynamic environments. I have conducted research that contributes to health and social service sectors and policies, including writing high-level, fit for purpose reports for a range of audiences.
