I am an independent public policy consultant, researcher and writer based in Bristol. I’m motivated by social justice and a focus on how to improve policy and systems for people and communities.

My work focuses on issues around work, welfare and technology, with particular interests in low paid work and in-work poverty, good work and the future of work, welfare reform, basic income, and ethical issues around technology, employment and unemployment. Right now I’m developing projects on the digitisation of welfare benefits and the jobs created by automation.

I hold a Masters degree in Public Policy from the University of Bristol, which I completed as a mature student, researching and writing about labour markets, precarity, policy transfer and translation, universal basic income and research methods.

As well as my freelance work, I’m Head of Research for Promising Trouble, where I work part-time. I sit as a volunteer board member for the Bristol City Funds initiative.
