About me

I am currently working as a researcher across a number of projects investigating experiences in Australia for young people from refugee backgrounds. I am particularly interested in access and equity for these students in pursuing their aspirations, and the ways in which home-school partnerships can be developed. My PhD focuses on this topic, and is connected with an ARC Linkage project entitled, "Pathways to active citizenship: Refugee youth and their transition from school to further education, training and employment".

PhD Candidate, School of Psychology, Social Work and Social Policy, 2017- 2020
