I have been at the Bartlett since September 2015 having worked across a range of public and private organisations previously. I read for my PhD at the University of Manchester looking at the impact of tall building proposals on the character of place, co-funded by the ESRC and English Heritage from 2003 to 2007. I worked at UWE Bristol from 2008-15 as Lecturer/Senior Lecturer in Planning and Urban Conservation.

I am a full member of both the Royal Town Planning Institute (MRTPI) and Institute of Historic Building Conservation (IHBC), and am an Academician of the Academy of Urbanism.

I run the 2-year MPlan City Planning programme. This innovative programme explores both domestic and international planning practice and culture, and offers the opportunity to further embed learning through either a term spent in planning practice, or at an international partner institution. 

I have been a member of UCL's Academic Board since 2016, and am a UK representative (substitute, from June 2020) to the Assciation of European Schools of Planning (AESOP). I joined UCL's LGBTQ+ Equality Steering Group (LESG) in November 2020. LESG steers the Out@UCL network of around 600 LGBTQ+ staff and supporters, as well as championing LGBTQ+ equalities within the university more broadly). I joined UCL's LGBTQ+ Equality Implementation Group (LEIG) in June 2022. LEIG is tasked with developing a strong programme of action that will help create an inclusive and welcoming environment for LGBTQ+ staff and students, as well as alumni and visitors, at UCL. I have been elected as non-professorial member to UCL’s Academic Committee. The Committee has a wide remit including to consider and advise the Council on its responsibilities with respect to the Office for Students (OfS) conditions of registration, and to maintain an overview of UCL's academic strategies, policies and procedures. I also currently am Chair of The Bartlett School of Planning's Equality, Diversity and Inclusion group.
