Biography

I credit a multicultural, diverse upbringing for culminating my interest in equal and equitable health for all, subsequently guiding my pursuit of a degree in Medicine, and a Master's in Public Health. My interest in adolescent health and well-being has enabled me to diverge into the wider sphere of public health, where I have collaborated with the European Public Health Association and the WHO to develop resources aimed towards the general public, with a focus on mental health and stigma. Together we curated seminars and educational content on pressing issues (such as adolescent sexual and reproductive health, Polio, and antimicrobial resistance), and I have been honoured to present my work exploring the links between social media and body dysmorphia at the 10th International Festival of Public Health. Pursuing this PhD at Cambridge represents a natural yet deliberate continuation of my commitment to a future where I improve the lives of others. I hope to conduct research, underpinned by the UN's SDGs, that creates a foundation which furthers work towards reduced health inequalities, promotes adolescent well-being and agency in their health, and strengthens collaborative networks between change-makers and the wider population.
