Franki Mathews

About me:

Franki’s passion for working in public health is driven by the desire to help improve lives of those affected by poor mental health, and improve access and availability of effective evidence-based services and treatments. After a number of years teaching sports abroad and studying an open degree in Psychology, the desire to develop resulted in completion of a MRes in Health and Wellbeing in 2018 at the University of Exeter. Experience within different disciplinary teams at the University of Exeter Medical School includes work on randomised controlled trials, case studies and mixed methods studies which have involved a variety of solo and interdisciplinary approaches. Her current projects involves working with citiesRISE, an international organisation, alongside other stakeholders to develop an impact-facing programme of research. The focus of this work is children and young people in international contexts.
