I am currently pursuing an ESRC-funded PhD at the LSE Department of Gender Studies. My research has involved collecting media data, textual analysis, synthesis of complex information, identification of themes, and communicating with non-academic audiences. My areas of research expertise include power and inequalities, gender and its implications, race in society, and the intersections of gender, race and sexuality.
I hold a BSc in Psychology (I) from the University of Warwick, and an MSc in Gender (Distinction) from the Department of Gender Studies, LSE. My professional experience includes publishing, market research, teaching, and talent acquisition and development.
