Meta-Analysis & Synthesis Lead

12+ years of research writing experience

Over more than fifteen years, she has registered and completed reviews across clinical medicine, public health, and health policy, with particular depth in protocol-to-PROSPERO workflows and dual-screening supervision on complex multi-stream reviews. She trained at Oxford and Bristol, has authored Cochrane reviews, and applies GRADE to rate the certainty of evidence. Her work centers on reproducible search strategies, transparent eligibility criteria, and meta-analytic methods that hold up under the most demanding peer review.
