I joined the Health Economics and Health Technology Assessment (HEHTA) team as a Research Assistant at the start of 2024. My background is in genetic counselling with a BSc (Genetics) from the University of Glasgow in 2008 and a MGenCouns from the University of Melbourne in 2010. I have worked on a number of qualitative research projects across different healthcare settings in Australia and Scotland, conducting interviews, focus groups and surveys with a range of individuals, including healthcare professionals, vulnerable patients, and consumers.
Research interests
