I advise researchers on involving the public in their research design. I see my role as translator and connector; helping research make sense to people and helping researchers and communities to connect. I believe the best conversations are had around food and that breakthroughs in health research can't happen unless we talk with and listen to as many people as possible. I believe we need to be in community, with community for community, we can make a difference to communities underserved by research.
I am a registered Midwife and Health Visitor and draw on my experience of working with families from all walks of life.
