Biography

Background

I am a social scientist with research interests in health worker migration, tobacco control, global health governance and public policy tools. I obtained my PhD in Social Policy from the University of Edinburgh. My dissertation focused on the international recruitment of nurses in the UK in the early 2000s. I explored the role of government-to-government agreements on the cross-border movement of health workers, negotiated between the UK and several source countries within and beyond Europe. After completing my doctoral studies, I worked as a research fellow on global health governance and tobacco control projects at the Global Public Health Unit (GPHU). Currently, I am a teaching fellow for the Master of Public Health online programme at the University of Edinburgh.
