Overview

I am a Research Fellow at the Centre for Development, Evaluation, Complexity and Implementation in Public Health Improvement (DECIPHer) and co-investigator on The School Health Research Network (SHRN): a research-policy-practice partnership between Cardiff University, the Welsh Government, and Public Health Wales, which aims to improve the health and well-being of children and young people across Wales. My substantive research interests are in the field of child and adolescent population health, particularly within school settings.
