Biography

I have worked in the field of education for over fifteen years and have a professional background in sexual health and youth work.

I started working in higher education in 2013 and have taught on a range of undergraduate units focusing on the lives and experiences of children, young people and families.

My research interests include youth transitions, inequality and the concept of fateful moments and critical turning points. My recent research publications focus on the lives and experiences of young people and constructions of risk.

I am the producer and host for the 'Working with Children and Young People podcast'. The podcast features special guests to explore different career options relating to working with children and young people. Listen on all major podcasting platforms.
