I joined Making The Leap as Head of Research and Advocacy in September 2021. My role involves capturing and communicating Making The Leap’s unique grassroots knowledge and perspectives from our work with schools and young adults, the UK Social Mobility Awards and Black Charity Leaders.  

I have over ten years of experience as a mixed-methods social researcher. My research has focused on inequalities in education related to gender, ethnicity and socioeconomic status in countries including the UK, Ethiopia, India and Vietnam. I passionately believe that high-quality, ethical research has the power to improve society, and I’m really excited to be working with the Making The Leap team to advance social mobility and racial equality in the UK.
