I am an interdisciplinary researcher from Scotland interested in how emerging technologies can support communities, organisations and policymakers. I studied for my PhD part-time while working as a researcher on European-funded research projects focused on workforce development and labour market intelligence. Following my PhD completion I worked as a research fellow at the dot.rural Digital Economy Hub at the University of Aberdeen. I developed a particular interest in community archives and the role of digital technologies in supporting cultural and social participation. Since then, I have contributed to and led projects funded through programmes including Horizon Europe, the RCUK Digital Economy programme, and the Australian Research Council. My research focuses on ethical and inclusive digital transformation, with particular interests in remote and rural communities, queer archives, culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) communities, and the ways technology can create meaningful social and cultural impact.
