What I'm looking for

I seek roles combining policy research and operational coordination within inclusive, equity-focused organizations that value clear communication, cross-team collaboration, and data-informed decision-making.

I am a policy researcher and writer with first-class Master’s and Bachelor’s degrees from Cardiff University, specialising in equity-led and postcolonial perspectives. My expertise lies in turning complex ideas and evidence into clear, persuasive outputs that inform policy and public debate.

Alongside my academic and research work, I have managed operations in e-commerce, leading planning, stakeholder communication, and process improvements—including integrating AI to streamline workflows. I bring strong analytical and writing skills, with experience across policy research, editorial production, and broadcast media.

I am seeking to apply my research, writing, and communication skills in roles that value critical analysis, creativity, and practical impact, whether in policy, campaigns, or consultancy settings.
