I'm a feminist and international development professional passionate about working for human rights, particularly with individuals and groups that experience discrimination and inequality.
I currently work for Catholic Relief Services as Senior Director of ICT4D. Previously, I worked on issues of gender, tech, and development as the Global Lead for Digital Development at Plan International. As part of this work I coined the term Equality Tech, meaning tech that in itself advances equality. More on that here.
I am currently also chair of the Advisory Council for the Principles for Digital Development, stewarded by the Digital Impact Alliance (DIAL).
Over the past 15 years I’ve also worked with Sahmakum Teang Tnaut in Cambodia on urban land rights issues, ActionAid Malawi on urban governance, and the Helsinki Deaconess Institute on the rights of irregular and undocumented migrants in Finland. I'm a proud alumni of the University of St Andrews (MA Economics-International Relations) and the School of Oriental and African Studies, SOAS (MSc Development Studies).
