 I'm a health economist with a background in economics (BCom.), medical science (BSc.), public health (MPH) and health economics (PhD). My expertise is in health technology assessment. I'm experienced in evaluating health care interventions across a range of disease areas including both within-trial and modelled evaluations. A current research interest includes using simulation modelling to evaluate decision problems with a resource constraint.
