I work for Public Health Wales as a consultant epidemiologist, working on communicable disease surveillance and epidemiology.

My Fellowship was on communicable disease control in France and Sweden. This led to an interest in European field epidemiology, and I became a fellow and then a co-ordinator and supervisor on the European Programme for Intervention Epidemiology Training.

I have a current role as a site supervisor on the UK Field Epidemiology Training Programme. In addition to my current role, I am committed to increasing capacity and developing surveillance and epidemiology methods in the UK, and linking with colleagues outside the UK.

I have been involved in several major infectious disease incidents, including the swine flu pandemic of 2008-2009, and the joint World Health Organization (WHO) and Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN) Ebola response in Guinea in 2015. In the current Covid-19 pandemic I have led for the surveillance and epidemiology function, worked as an incident director, and led the Wales site as principal investigator of the Oxford Vaccine Group Covid-19 vaccine study.

My career path has benefited greatly from the experience and links developed from the Fellowship.
