I am a story-crafter and social scientist based in Cape Town, South Africa. As a qualitative researcher, I am interested in research on sexual and reproductive health, stigma and intersectionality, marginalized population groups, and mental health. I am curious about the 'why’s,' 'how’s' and 'so what’s' that plague the sphere of public health, especially the sexual and reproductive health of women and young people, particularly in the Global South. Key research areas: sexual and reproductive health, adolescence and youth, African sexualities, HIV/AIDS, narrative storytelling, ethnography, marginalised population groups, community engagement, social change, sub-Saharan Africa, violence and crime reduction, creative, participatory and collaborative methodologies.
