      I live in Kenilworth and I am a plant mom and have 7 plant species that am growing and my favourite of them all is pothos . It seems to have a mind of its own and doesn’t follow trends. A bit like me. I enjoy running to clear my head and its so therapeutic. I love contemporary poetry and Rupi Kaur is my favourite poet. Am originally from Zambia

      Since the pandemic I have been working from home. I have been analysing antibiotic prescriptions within UK primary care to understand if general practitioners are following guidelines on antibiotic prescriptions used to treat urinary tract infections. I am particularly interested in ways that we can address any inappropriate antibiotic prescribing ( i.e giving antibiotics unnecessarily )

    • My Typical Day:

      I get up at 8 am and am by my desk at 8:30 am! Then check my emails if i have any meetings to attend or catch up with my supervisor – all ready for writing, analysing or publishing data . I spend most of the day reading or writing up articles related to my research

      attending meetings to get latest updates on scientific discoveries within my research

      Looking at prescribing data for urinary tract infections and seeing which demography of patients is most affected by this type of prescribing and why

      Looking at different scientific papers within my field to summarise what they say and state how my research will contribute to the already existing evidence

      Once they day is done – I may go out for a run or a walk depending on how am feeling
