I am a part-time Research Associate on the ESRC-funded Public Health, Youth and Violence Reduction research project, which is investigating violence reduction in Scotland and England. My particular focus for the project is violence reduction in London.
Alongside this, I am a youth and community worker in North East London, for Hackney Quest. My focus in that role is providing intensive support to young people (and their families) who are experiencing complex difficulties, especially in relation to the education system. I have also set up a number of youth-led community change initiatives, such as the Hackney Wick Through Young Eyes research project and Build Up Hackney, a project which gave a team of young people the power to transform a prominent public space.
Between 2016 and 2021, I was Head of Strategy at Reach Children's Hub, a charity based within Reach Academy Feltham which provides cradle-to-career support for local children, young people and families.
I am involved with a number of criminal justice charities: I am a trustee and volunteer for Haven Distribution, and a volunteer for Longford Trust and New Bridge Foundation.
