I am a senior research assistant and PhD student in the MRC Lifecourse Epidemiology Unit. I primarily work on the Health and Employment After Fifty (HEAF) Study. My PhD project is nested within HEAF and looks at work based factors that could influence the decision to retire.
I studied law at Nottingham Trent University, graduating in 2001 with an LLB. I undertook a career in taxation before joining the MRC Lifecourse Epidemiology Unit in September 2015 as a research administrator working primarily on the Unit’s Health and Employment After Fifty (HEAF) study.
My journey into epidemiology was very much a hands-on approach as I learnt from mentors in the MRC Unit whilst gaining practical experience of research by administering the HEAF study.
Facilitated by a grant from the Colt Foundation, I commenced work on my PhD project entitled HEAF FIRST in August 2017. My research project is focused on factors in the workplace that could influence retirement decisions and whether retirement is good or bad for health.
