I joined Refugee Action in 2024, swapping an academic career in international relations for a more ‘applied’ one in the wake of the UK’s racist riots. I am our Policy and Engagement Manager and a Refugee Action spokesperson.
I'm a union rep, teach Chinese martial arts, and am writing two academic books on global politics. I enjoy travel, reading, cinema & cycling, and volunteer to support people in northern France.
