About me
- I graduated nursing from the University of Malta with first class honours in
2011. Following this I studied a Master's degree in Global Health at
Karolinska Institutet for one year. I spent two years working as a research
assistant in the research group 'Medicines in the Health System - focussing
on antibiotics' where I was involved in projects on surgical site infections
and other related healthcare-associated infections in India, as well as the
development of a course on the 'Development, Implementation and Evaluation of
Antibiotic Use Campaigns' in collaboration with the European Centre for
Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), among others.
As a doctoral student at the Department of Global Public Health, under the
supervision of Professor Cecilia Stålsby Lundborg, and co-supervisors, Dr
Senia Rosales-Klintz, Prof Michael A. Borg and Dr Anna Nyberg, I designed,
implemented and evaluated a social marketing intervention aimed at improving
general practitioners' antibiotic prescribing for respiratory tract
complaints in Malta. The project entitled the Maltese Antibiotic Stewardship
Programme in the Community (MASPIC), was conducted between 2014 and 2018.
I currently work as a project manager and qualitative researcher at the
Evaluation Sciences Unit at Stanford University's Department of Medicine. I
support the implementation and evaluation of quality improvement projects
conducted within Stanford Health Care.

* Judge’s runner up award and the People’s choice award at the 2019
Hackathon in Stockholm. In the Joint Programming Initiative on
Antimicrobial Resistance Hackathon: Using the digital world to fight
antimicrobial resistance, I was part of a team that developed a prototype
for “The waiting room game”, an educational role-playing game that
helps people learn about the simple actions they can take in their daily
lives to help combat antibiotic resistance together with facts about
antibiotics and antibiotic resistance.
