Available to hire
I am a PhD researcher at Queen’s University Belfast, focused on the historical impact of moderate political movements in Northern Ireland in relation to the Troubles and the Good Friday Agreement. My work investigates how non-violent, moderate groups helped shape political discourse and policy during key years of conflict and peace processes.
I bring years of experience supervising and managing teams, teaching in academic and professional settings, and delivering research services within library and archival contexts. I pride myself on time management, independent working and clear, effective communication.
