I am a Lecturer based in the Lincoln Academy of Learning and Teaching at the University of Lincoln. My key areas of interest are gender, work and migration. My current doctoral research looks at the aspirations and lived experiences of women migrants in the UK. I am supervised by Dr Anna Tarrant, Dr Agnieszka Rydzik, and Dr Ana Jordan. I am the current GenSeM IMISCOE standing committee co-Representative for PhD students and Early Career Researchers. I also work part-time on the Nuffield-funded project, ‘Caregiving Dads, Breadwinning Mums: Transforming Gender in Work and Childcare?’, which is being conducted at the University of Lincoln. I am a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy and a Structured Writing Retreat Facilitator trained by Prof. Rowena Murray. I have 13 years’ work experience (including consultancy) in a range of organisations including local government bodies, grassroots charities, international aid agencies and social enterprises. I began my career on the National Graduate Development Programme working at the London Borough of Islington in Housing Aid, Children’s Services, Policy and Programme Management, and the Refugee and Asylum Seekers team. I then moved to the voluntary sector, managing the Stronger Communities Programme at the Community Works in Brighton & Hove, which engaged local grassroots NGOs serving minority communities. After completing my Masters I worked for the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), where I held a Research Officer position, acting as representative of Japanese ODA to DfID and British NGOs, and as JICA’s Gender Focal Point for the UK.
