Other academic activities
I have a longstanding interest in working with children and young people, and prior to my current role I worked in the charitable sector as an Evaluation Officer for the NSPCC. My role was to contribute to the evaluation of 'Together for Childhood'- a place-based programme aiming to prevent abuse:https://www.nspcc.org.uk/keeping-children-safe/our-services/together-for-childhood/
I am also a Brilliant Club tutor and have delivered a Geography course entitled 'The Anthropocene vs. Deep Time - A journey through Earth's climate history' to secondary school students in Plymouth.
The Brilliant Club is an award-winning charity that works with schools and universities across the UK and aims to increase the number of pupils from under-represented backgrounds progressing to highly selective universities:
