Director of Partnerships and Field Operations for the Maternal Health Initiative (https://​​maternalhealthinitiative.org), a global health charity training healthcare workers in lower-income contexts on family planning counseling.

I co-founded MHI in September 2022 out of the Charity Entrepreneurship Incubation Programme.

Prior to that, I founded Effective Self-Help (https://​​effectiveselfhelp.org) a research organisation studying the most effective ways people can improve their wellbeing and productivity.
