Biography
I am an independent researcher and consultant specialising in designing and delivering training and resources around institutional and structural racism for a range of organisations. I hold a degree in social anthropology, and worked as a qualified primary and secondary school teacher for over a decade. I hold a master's degree in education and in 2025 I completed a PhD at the Centre for Race, Education and Decoloniality, exploring the experiences of teachers and leaders undertaking anti-racism work in their schools.
I will visit practitioners doing similar work with teachers in Canada, the USA, Australia and New Zealand. With 95% of UK Black pupils experiencing ongoing structural and interpersonal racism, antisemitism doubling in schools, Islamophobia surging 377%, and Roma and Traveller pupils facing persistent discrimination, my Fellowship aims to learn global racial literacy models from abroad to equip teachers to reliably identify and stand up against all forms of racism.
