Research summary
My main research interests sit at the intersection of Equality, Diversity, Inclusion, and Mental Health and Psychosocial support; my background is a qualitative and participatory one. Recently, I have been involved in research projects evaluating MHPSS interventions in at-risk groups (refugees and displaced populations in Scotland). I have explored aid workers’ wellbeing and resilience, advocating for more inclusive MHPSS support in the humanitarian sector. Previously, I have collaborated in applied research studies supporting practitioners working with children who have experienced trauma.
