Profile

Currently a PhD student in the Department of Urban Studies and Planning. Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµing how communities are creating sustainable food systems with schools. My research is based at Arbourthorne Community Primary School in South Sheffield.

Previously undertook a BA (Hons) English Literature at Durham University and MSc Marketing at the University of Birmingham before going on to have a 6 year career as a researcher in industry working for charitable, government and corporate organisations. 

I then enacted a career change, studying MSc Psychology at the University of Nottingham, whilst also working as a Teaching Assistant in a school and working at a food co-operative. This led me to pursue the interdisciplinary PhD I am working on now. 

My research interests include critical pedagogy, food justice, wellbeing, care, community and belonging.
