I am a social justice advocate, researcher and impact-driven communications professional based in Lancashire, England.

With a strong understanding of international affairs and social issues, I am passionate about using my expertise to create tangible, positive change for vulnerable communities.

Within my broader interest in politics, I am particularly passionate about human rights, as well as countering the harms of extremism and societal division. These were areas I recently explored in great depth on my MA programme in North Korean Studies at the University of Central Lancashire, the only institution outside of the Korean Peninsula to offer such a programme. Alongside my MA, I am also a holder of a BA(Hons) in Media and Communications, with a wide range of practical digital communications skills as well as a deep interest in ideological messaging.

With my commitment to social good, I am always looking for opportunities to leverage my expertise to make a difference. If you would like to get in touch, I would be very glad to connect with you!
