Biography
I am a health services research, specialising in cultural participation, social prescribing, and the experiences of older people from ethnic minority groups. My research applies realist evaluation, qualitative methods, and storytelling to understand how different interventions create meaningful change. With a background in medical anthropology, I have a strong interest in digital ethnography, cultural identity, and mental health.
Previously, I have worked on projects related to social prescribing, green and cultural health interventions, and knowledge exchange between academia and community organisations. I am also passionate about expanding the role of qualitative research in health policy and practice.
