My research used mixed methods approaches to explore the links between social protection and livelihood strengthening programmes and sexual and reproductive health, with a focus on gender and gender-based violence and adolescent health in low and middle-income countries. I have both research and programmatic experience, including conducting feasibility assessments, providing input into study designs, tool development and data analysis for programme evaluations for various international development organisations, including the UN and non-governmental organisations.

My background includes a PhD in Public Health and Policy from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), an MSc in Health Policy, Planning and Financing from the London School of Economics & Political Science (LSE) and an MSc in Public Health from the University of Edinburgh, UK. I am Deputy co-director of the Center for Evaluation at LSHTM, co-director of the Gender Violence Health Center at the LSHTM and a core team member of the Cash Transfers and Intimate Partner Violence (IPV) Research Collaborative. I am an Associate Editor of the journal PLOS One. I have held honorary positions at the University of Witwatersrand, Johannesburg and was previously a member of the DFID-funded STRIVE Research Consortium.
