I am a researcher working to improve primary and secondary cardiovascular disease and stroke in all populations, across the lifespan. All from a collaborative, person-centred lens. Not only focusing on supporting and inspiring enduring primary prevention but understanding life after a cardiovascular or stroke event, ensuring it is filled with hope. This can be achieved through novel, person-centred and collaborative approaches.
