I graduated with a degree in epidemiology from Hampshire College in 2006, and then spent three years working in cystic fibrosis clinical research ay Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, MA, USA. I completed a Master's degree in International Health from Uppsala Univeristy in 2013, and began working at Karolinska Institutet in the Health Systems and Policy research group, at the Centre for Research on Healthcare in Disasters.
