Overview

I am a qualitative researcher focusing on the intersection of gender, health, and equity. I have a background in using qualitative methods for program evaluation through projects with the New York State Department of Health and Stanford University.

Currently, I am the Evaluation Officer for the qualitative evaluation of the African Health Markets for Equity (AHME) project. AHME aims to increase access to quality primary healthcare for low-income populations in Kenya and Ghana by linking supply (quality providers accredited with National Health Insurance) and demand (low-income patients enrolled with National Health Insurance and connected to AHME clinics) interventions.
