  I have a background in research psychology and have worked as a researcher in the academic, private and NGO sectors in South Africa. I have worked on a variety of research projects related to public health issues, particularly around HIV/AIDS. Projects where biological markers were collected include: the Impact Surveillance evaluation of the PMTCT programme in KwaZulu-Natal; an evaluation of the HIV component of the Integrated Management of Childhood illness; a survey of STI and HIV seroprevalence among truck drivers; surveys of youth sexual behaviour and STI and HIV seroprevalance; substance use and sexual behaviour among adult arrestees. I have worked on health systems research projects focusing on facility factors impacting on the uptake of voluntary counselling and testing; referral and support mechanisms within the district health system; the integration of the PMTCT programme into routine maternal and child health services; and the implementation of the PMTCT programme in operational settings.
