So, here are a few facts about me:

• I work at Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine as a spatial epidemiologist, focusing on neglected tropical diseases
• I was awarded a Medical Research Council (MRC) Population Health Scientist fellowship in 2015, which aims to explore new ways of monitoring changes in tropical disease risk over small geographical areas (schistosomiasis, sleeping sickness and lymphatic filariasis)
• I am also interested in looking at how mobile phones can be used to improve healthcare in developing countries, which has led to me collaborating with my lovely husband and his software development company Tripod Software on a few projects
• I have two goals in life: to make a positive contribution to the world, and to own a dog
