Career
A public policy and communications specialist with experience of connecting, and translating between, policy and research. I develop and deliver strategies to engage with, inform and influence policy audiences, as well as connecting research more widely through digital communications and public engagement.
I have significant experience in enabling policy engagement and policy impact, networking and translating between academia and policy audiences, developing communication strategies, production of policy publications and reports, and public engagement particularly at the interface between public policy research and policy engagement.
I have presented in the Green Zone at COP26, the Blue Zone at COP27 and the Green Zone at COP28.
