Biography
I have a PhD in Sociology. My research interests include migration/settlement and social inequalities, and I am experienced in ethnography, in-depth interviewing and co-production. I am currently working with young researchers on a UCL Grand Challenges-funded project, 'Intergenerational perspectives on the opportunities and challenges of growing up in coastal towns'.
I have convened undergraduate Sociology modules at UCL and University of Roehampton. I have also been a seminar lead for a range of undergraduate and postgraduate modules at UCL Social Research Institute.
Before starting my research career, I worked in community development and early intervention/family support in Paris and London.
