Profile
I joined the University of Leeds in 2013 doing my masters in Epidemiology and Biostatistics. On completion I joined the Cardiovascular Epidemiology group working as a research assistant in 2014, alongside which I completed a PhD in Cardiovascular Epidemiology and Biostatistics. In 2018 I was promoted to Postdoctoral Medical Statistician. Currently, I am working as a Senior Research Statistician/Epidemiologist as part of the Child Health Outcomes Research at Leeds team.
