MPHIL, DIGITAL HUMANITIES,WOLFSON COLLEGE, UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE 

I am a social impact researcher dedicated to addressing social issues through data-driven insights. I studied History during my undergraduate degree at the University of Nottingham and also completed semesters abroad at McGill and Ca’ Foscari. During this time I specialised in modern political history, focusing on diasporic communities.

Presently, I work for United Learning Trust where I have developed and implemented comprehensive evaluation strategies and set up a longitudinal study. This has all centred on measuring the impact of community engagement initiatives on educational and life outcomes - particularly for society’s most underserved communities.

I hope to reduce the barriers for marginalised groups in academic attainment and achievement. I will be studying the MPhil in Digital Humanities to develop a more comprehensive understanding of how digital tools can make real world changes through the lens of social justice.
