Impact Communications and Research Strategist
MEDIA
I regularly serve as a guest lecturer, panelist, and podcast contributor, offering perspectives that bridge academic research, lived experience, and various health and social services systems together. My work as an impact and communications strategist is rooted in both rigorous scholarship and hands‑on learning.
I am committed to making research accessible to all audiences. If your event, course, or platform seeks a speaker who can translate complex ideas into meaningful, influential dialogue, I welcome the opportunity to collaborate.

Pass The Mic
Part of being able to share my experience and expertise has also been because of the efforts made by other women of colour. I am part of a community of experts who also happen to be women of colour in Scotland. You can learn more about Pass the Mic here. I encourage any person who identifies as a woman of colour living in Scotland to sign up as an expert in their field.
