Background
In November 2025, I joined the Flexible Resource Centre within the Edinburgh Research Office, where I serve as a Research Project Manager for key initiatives, including InFrame and RTP RELAX. My focus is on coordinating high-impact research projects with quality.
My professional experience is built on a foundation of strategic project management and international partnership development across research, industry, and policy. Previously, I served as a Skills Research Officer within the Industrial Decarbonisation Research and Innovation Centre (IDRIC) and Training Programme Manager for the Centre for Doctoral Training in Green Industrial Futures, focused on strengthening the skills ecosystem underpinning decarbonisation.
I have extensive global program experience, having managed complex projects for organizations including Resonance Global (supporting USAID and U.S. Dept. of State), UNICEF, UNHCR, and the IFRC. My international roles involved overseeing multi-country contract portfolios and grant programs with partners across Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia
Qualifications
I hold an MPhil in Sociology from the University of Cambridge and an MA in International Conflict Studies with Distinction from King’s College London. My research on nationalism and social movements has been published in Studies in Ethnicity and Nationalism and the Yale Journal of International Affairs.
