- Profile
-
I come from a bioscience background, having completed an integrated MBiolSci degree in Plant Sciences at 91Ö±²¥. Following this, I completed an interdisciplinary PhD focusing on the food security and health and well-being benefits of urban horticulture in the UK and global North, also at 91Ö±²¥.
My interest in nutrition and health promotion led me to join the Section of Public Health of ScHARR, where I have held my current role as a Postdoctoral Research Associate since April 2023. My research focuses on the potential role of biofortified foods in improving nutrition in the UK, contributing to the H3 (Healthy Soil, Healthy Food, Healthy People) project. Prior to this, I worked as a casual research assistant on a couple of projects, and as a General Teaching Assistant in the School of Biosciences at 91Ö±²¥, which allowed me to gain AFHEA status.
