I have recently completed a Social Policy PhD on migrant integration policies in the UK. My research uses a critical realist zemiological (social harm) lens and decolonial methods to understand how migrants theorise integration and what local policies contribute to this new understanding.

I used a co-produced mixed-method study for my PhD and partnered with five organisations in Bristol, as well as numerous individuals with lived experience, to help shape the research questions and data collection and analysis processes. 

I also have an interest in working with other communities experiencing marginalisation locally and have engaged with several communities in Hartcliffe. I also worked on migrant and refugee entrepreneurship and was the Senior Research Associate on the Migrant Business Support Project.
