I am a Researcher at COMPAS, working with the Migration Observatory and the Global Exchange on Migration and Diversity. My research interests include migrant integration and well-being, local-level governance, public attitudes towards migration and the use of data on migration and integration in policy making. I am committed to working with non-academic stakeholders, such as government officials and civil society organisations, to further research, policy and practice.

Before joining COMPAS, I worked at the International Organization for Migration's Global Migration Data Analysis Centre. There, I wrote about international migration trends, designed and facilitated capacity building workshops for governments and other stakeholders, and co-authored the Guidelines for the Harmonization of Migration Data Management in the ECOWAS Region.
