Available to hire
I am a freelance researcher, working across both the creative industries and social sciences. I have written scripts for podcasts and plays, as well as ghost written a novel. I also have over 8 years experience executing research briefs for NGO’s and universities, across a wide range of social issues. I am curious about almost everything, and love the opportunity to wade through a sea of information to succinctly answer a question for a client.
