Profile

Biography

My research interests center around poverty and social inequalities in health, with a particular focus on the intersections between migration, mental health and loneliness I am working on an NIHR-funded project that examines loneliness and social isolation among young people living in coastal communities. My PhD research explores the mental health status of British Nationals (Overseas) (BN(O)) migrants, a recent migrant group in the UK. The study involves an online survey to investigate the association between various socio-economic and individual factors and the mental health outcomes of BN(O) migrants.
