I am a researcher and consultant specialising in GBV prevention,

gender-transformative programming, and protection in conflict and

humanitarian settings. For over a decade I have 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, as full participants in transformation rather than as perpetrators

to reform? 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 field: how do we actually measure social change? 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.

Outside of work, you will usually find me growing vegetables on my

allotment or getting stuck into a DIY renovation project.
