A PhD student currently studying prisons and lifers, my passion is in equality and fair justice. Having received a BSc in Criminology, then an MA in Crime and Victimology, I feel strongly about the socio economic divide which places people in environments that make or break them. Not everyone is born with the same opportunities, but we can all help to ensure people are given the same chances.  I’ve spent the last 8 years using my own lived experience to inform my practice, working within prisons and the youth justice sector where I specialised in life sentences and exploitation cases.

At Pushforward I support children on a one-to-one basis, focussing on relationship building and learning their stories, I also deliver crime and justice modules to encourage children to be aware of their rights, and the law. The aim is to help them understand the legal clauses in actions, consequential thinking, and what their rights are in terms of the law. This includes work around police, services, courts, justice and prisons.

I work for Pushforward because I believe in their mission. Supporting children from all walks of life, it is my aim to find their strengths and help them grow. I work in conjunction with public sector organisations, ensuring all children are treated fairly and given opportunities to help them succeed.
