Profile

I graduated from the University of Leeds in 2019 with a first class honors degree in International Relations. Following this, I was awarded a Liberty Excellence Scholarship to study an MSc in Security, Conflict and Justice at the School of Law in 2019 to 2020. After a period of time working in social research and co-founding a survivor-led campaign, Young Abuse Support, I returned to the school in 2023 on a 1+3 White Rose Doctoral Training Partnership, and completed my MA in Social Research from 2023 to 2024.

Research interests

My research interests are adolescent intimate partner violence and intervention, participatory and creative methods and trauma-informed approaches to research.
