I am Programme Lead (Homelessness) at World Habitat, a global housing foundation.

The main topic of my Churchill Fellowship was housing, homelessness and migration. The purpose of my Fellowship in 2017 was to travel to Germany and Canada to investigate refugee and migrant emergency housing, with a focus on the Syrian refugee crisis.

I was particularly interested in this area because of my job at that time, which was as Innovation and Good Practice Project Manager at Homeless Link, managing the Strategic Alliance on Migrant Destitution. I was working with some of the largest migrant and homelessness organisations in the UK, exploring housing and accommodation options for excluded migrants.

Following my Fellowship, I've now progressed into a role that supports housing and homelessness organisations all over Europe and the world. Focusing on the right to housing, World Habitat is a global housing foundation that specialises in finding some of the most innovative practice across the world, and transferring the good practice to those that need it.

My Fellowship was as invaluable learning experience that continues to this day.
