Social research & evaluation
Social research across academic, policy, and practice contexts
I work with research centres, international organisations, NGOs, and public-sector bodies to design and deliver social research and evaluations that contribute to rigorous, ethically grounded evidence. My experience spans projects from small, community-based studies to large, multi-country initiatives for UN agencies, using a range of qualitative, mixed-method, and participatory approaches with a particular focus on collaborative research that centres lived experience.
My research work spans the full project cycle, from design, planning and coordination through to implementation and analysis, with a focus on results that can shape debate and inform policy and programme decisions.

What defines my approach
An informed and reflective approach to research
I draw on my research experience in every project, working closely with clients to design and deliver research that is methodologically rigorous, ethically grounded, and responsive to organisational and policy contexts. My approach combines careful methodological judgement with attention to context, power, and interpretation, contributing to research processes and findings that are robust and meaningful in practice.
