Evaluation and Evidence Base Lead Facilitator
I am an environmentalist with a Masters in Global Sustainability Solutions. Within the sustainability sector, my main area of interest is in sustainable food systems – addressing both food waste and food insecurity. I have always been involved in various community projects, and increasingly participate in environmental activism and LGBTQ+ support.
I support Rite to Freedom through evaluating the impact of their work using qualitative research methods. Prior to this, I used the Most Significant Change Technique to evaluate the impact of Community Action Groups Devon – in collaboration with Devon County Council. During my time living in India, I conducted interviews and facilitated focus group discussions in order to understand the perceptions of Indian youth on gender inequality.
My knowledge of the addiction recovery process has significantly developed through my involvement. I feel I have become part of the tribe, and extremely fortunate to work with such compassionate and committed individuals. Alongside my evaluation work, I have also had the opportunity to apply my musical ability by writing songs based on the stories told by Rite to Freedom participants, which I performed during a Recovery Cabaret.
