Profile: I am an actuarial analyst turned health economist and joined SCHARR after a seven-year stint as a health economic modeller at the Health Economics and Epidemiology Research Office (HE2RO). I originally studied a BSc in Actuarial Science and Mathematical Statistics at University of the Witwatersrand, South Africa after which I spent seven years working in the insurance and reinsurance industries. I then studied for my MSc in Health Economics and Decision Modelling at the University of Sheffield.

Research interests: I am particularly interested in using health economic modelling in understanding the impact of different health interventions.

Currently, I am working on a study that aims to determine and explore the impact of health systems constraints on breast cancer care in South Africa.
