I am an urban social researcher with over 8 years of experience in practical research in both the UK and Latin America working with communities, children, young people and related stakeholders in all professional, academic and voluntary roles. 

My research sits at the interplay of studies on Children's Geographies, Urban Studies and the Geographies of Happiness and Wellbeing.  My doctoral research studied children and young people's socio-cultural understandings and experiences of urban happiness and well-being in urban environments. Further research had foused on exploring the social experiences within the urban, natural and housing spaces, drawing links with dimension of wellbeing and urban resilience. I have done this by examining the roles of diverse actors in shaping the urban and natural landscapes, and their corresponding effects on young people's everyday lives, quality of life, wellbeing and social happiness. 

My research expertise encompasses roles in both academia and agency research within social and commercial projects with an array of industries.
