I am a Senior Research Fellow working in the Research and Innovation Hub at the University of Hertfordshire and in partnership with Hertfordshire and West Essex Integrated Care System. My role within the Hub is to undertake activities that support research and innovation aligned with community health priorities to directly enhance the health and wellbeing of residents of Hertfordshire and West Essex. I am also part of the Parkinson’s Research Outreach Network (PRONET) steering group which aims to work in partnership with people with Parkinson’s to co-develop and deliver publicly accessible and inclusive events around Parkinson’s research.

Since completing my PhD in 2022, I have worked as a Post-Doctoral Researcher and Research Fellow on several different projects involving NHS Trusts, charities, community services, resource implementation and evaluation, people with long-term conditions and their family supporters, Patient Public Involvement and co-production.
