Year 2 Student - 2023 Cohort - Cohort 5

For my undergraduate study I completed a BA in Social Policy (Valedictorian) at the University of Lincoln with a focus upon child abuse and educational support. Moving forwards I went onto complete an MPhil in Criminological Research at the University of Cambridge. My MPhil had a focus upon the committal of digital abuse through different life stages as well as a study investigating virtual reality gaming abuse and reasons behind the committal of such deviance from a criminological perspective. At present I have an interest in digital abuse committal and how best we can support young people who have experienced such forms of digital harm through educational means. Personally, I also have nine years of work experience working with young people ranging from residential weekends to running workshops to teach English to non-English speakers. Through my work I aim to take a trauma informed approach with future view to develop trauma informed computing further.
