I am a postdoctoral qualitative researcher working on the CARE and ENDOCARE trials. These look at the feasibility of pre-operative weight loss as prehabilitation before bowel and womb cancer surgeries. My role includes interviewing patients and staff about their experiences with the total diet replacement intervention.

I am awaiting my viva for my DPhil in Primary Care where I researched patient and GP experiences of treating and managing treatment-resistant depression (TRD). This included a systematic review, content analysis of Tweets, and interviews with patients and GPs. My thesis was underpinned by patient-led methodology/ research where I actively used my experiences of living with TRD to inform my decisions. I have published findings from my DPhil and from other projects on women's health and LGBTQ+ identities.

In addition, I am a representative for the British Sociological Association Medical Sociology Group. I am currently leading on EDI and the Foundation for the Sociology of Health and Illness book prize. I also blog for Mental Elf, an interdisciplinary Charity which reviews research articles on Mental Health with the aim to make this research more accessible.
