Summary
My passion lies in advocating for vulnerable groups and uncovering changes that need to be made in order for them to flourish.
My BA Ed dissertation focused on why black and mixed race boys are statistically more likely to be excluded from schools.
My MEd dissertation focused on the barriers children in care face to their education and how they have changed since COVID-19.
