Personal profile
Research expertise
A Biostatistician/ Biomathematician.
I am a Doctoral Researcher in the Maternal and Sexual Reproductive Health Unit, working as part of the UrbanBirthCollective project. I am specifically using a system dynamics approach to quantitatively model urban maternal health systems and geospatial analysis to visualize disparities in urban maternal healthcare access. These will aid in identifying potential improvements and policy interventions that can enhance maternal health outcomes.
My research interests are maternal, newborn, and child health, specifically statistical/mathematical methodology and applications for improving maternal healthcare in Sub-Saharan Africa.
