She is an interdisciplinary researcher who uses co-productive and creative methods to co-create research with communities. She currently has two funded projects- one working with East London Dance company on a project called 'VR Dance' which is engaging young people at risk of criminalisation in hip hop and immersive technologies to explore risk, resilience and wellbeing. She is also Co-I on the newly funded ESRC Centre for Sociodigital Futures and will be exploring the intersections of digital technologies, futures thinking and care in the context of children and families lives.
