Biography
I am a dietitian working in Scotland with a background in public health, having contributed to national priorities through organisations including the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities. I hold a BSc (Hons) in Human Nutrition and Dietetics, alongside postgraduate study in health inequalities, strategic leadership, and energy policy, transitions, and sustainability.
My Fellowship focuses on tackling childhood obesity and reducing health inequalities by strengthening collaboration across the allied health professions. As inequalities continue to widen, there is an urgent need to improve how we work together to better support children and families.
I aim to explore practical ways to enhance multidisciplinary working, ensuring services are more joined up, effective, and equitable. I am motivated by a commitment to improving the public health of the UK and giving every child the opportunity to thrive. I hope to identify and influence sustainable changes in practice, strengthen collaboration across professions, and contribute to reducing childhood obesity and health inequalities at a population level.
