I'm a researcher and consultant specialising in GBV prevention, gender-transformative programming, and protection in conflict and humanitarian settings. For over a decade I've worked at the intersection of academic research and field practice — building evidence, leading evaluations, and helping organisations design programmes that genuinely shift harmful gender norms.

​

Much of my work has focused on one of the most underexplored questions in the field: how do you meaningfully engage men and boys in GBV prevention — not as perpetrators to reform, but as full participants in transformation? This intersectional approach, grounded in my PhD research and years of fieldwork in the DRC and beyond, shapes everything I do.

​

I apply feminist and people-led methodologies that are sensitive to cultural context and grounded in community realities. I work across the UN system, international NGOs, civil society organisations, and research institutes — always with the same commitment to rigour, ethical integrity, and practical relevance.

​

Increasingly, my research focus is turning to a question that sits at the heart of the whole field: how do we actually measure social change? Current evaluation approaches in GBV prevention tend to rely on standardised, externally imposed indicators that rarely reflect how communities themselves understand or experience transformation. I am developing participatory, decolonial approaches to measurement — co-producing community-defined indicators of gender norms change that are both technically robust and locally meaningful. My goal is to make social change legible, defensible, and actionable in contexts where standard metrics routinely fall short.

Outside of work, you'll usually find me growing vegetables on my allotment or getting stuck into a DIY renovation project.
