In 2017 I completed the MA in Applied Linguistics from UCL’s IOE, with an MA thesis on child language brokering in a supplementary education setting. I am now currently studying a PhD on Social Network Analysis and Language Maintenance in the Somali community in London.
My research interests are centred around heritage language maintenance, language education and family language policy. I worked for 2 years on an ESRC funded collaborative research project between the University of Bath, Birkbeck University and UCL on family language policy in three communities in London, where I gained a keen interest in heritage language maintenance in minority communities.
Since 2020, I have worked as a contributing lecturer on the Bilingualism and Multilingualism module for the MA in Applied Linguistics at UCL, as well as the module tutor for the Multimodal Communications module.
