How long have you been a trustee?

Since November 2021

A bit of background

I’m a former student and during my time at the University of Essex, I was VP Welfare and Community and then President of the Students' Union. I’m honoured to be able to give back to the Students’ Union that gave me so many opportunities and hopefully assist in making positive changes to students’ time at Essex.

I’m a researcher and I currently work in higher education policy. In a previous job, I headed up innovation in research methodologies to better understand and support those from marginalised and underrepresented backgrounds. I currently sit on the steering group for Advancing Access, an organisation that supports school children at state schools to make university applications and the steering group for the Market Research Society’s Pride organisation that seeks to make research more inclusive.
