What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles in policy, research, stakeholder engagement, communications, partnerships and programme/project delivery. I enjoy turning research and insight into practical action, building relationships across diverse stakeholders and managing projects from idea to delivery. I’m particularly interested in roles with meaningful social, public or organisational impact.

I’m a policy, communications and stakeholder engagement professional with experience across public policy, education, social impact and research. I’ve led projects involving government, NGOs, schools, community organisations and other stakeholders, including a disability-inclusive education programme across 8 schools, managing a team of 5 and supporting a major government-funded programme. My experience includes policy research, consultation, evaluation, report writing, stakeholder communications and programme delivery. I’m particularly interested in public policy, social impact, education, partnerships, emerging technology and the intersection of research and practical change.
