For more than 20 years I have been engaged in policy, research and advocacy exploring how technology can contribute to – or impede – the achievement of development goals and human flourishing.

At FCDO I work as a Senior Research Fellow on the emergent risks and opportunities of AI, and its’ impacts on marginalised communities.

As Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Development Studies and Co-I at the ESRC Digital Futures at Work Research Centre, my research seeks to understand how technological advancements impact on human wellbeing and can contribute to or threaten the achievement of Gender Justice.

With a Ph.D. in Computing/Communications and an MSc in Technology Strategy Research, I bring a unique, multidisciplinary perspective which is rooted in my 15 years of NGO experience working in the digital rights and digital development sector.
