I am a research assistant working in The Salvation Army Centre for Addiction Services and Research. My research interests include substance use, vulnerable populations, health inequalities, harm reduction and qualitative methodology. I completed a BSc (Hons) in Health Sciences with The Open University, followed by an MRes in Health Research here at the University of Stirling. My Master's dissertation focused on alcohol and substance use in autistic adults.
Substance use, vulnerable populations, health inequalities, harm reduction and qualitative methodology.
Methodologically, I'm interested in qualitative techniques and collaboration/co-production of research with marginalised groups.
