I am the Military, Security and Police Programme Director at Amnesty International UK. I have 25 years’ experience working on the global arms trade and UK policing. I give evidence to various parliamentary committees and I am a member of the National Taser Stakeholder Advisory Group. In 2018, I was part of the Amnesty team that helped publicly expose serious flaws within the Met Police’s 'gangs matrix' database. Throughout the Yemen conflict I have provided expert comment on the UK’s arms exports to Saudi Arabia.

I love slogan t-shirts and protest fashion, and believe buying and wearing t-shirts are a small act of resistance against the patriarchy. I work with artists, fairtrade co-operatives, and ethical small businesses to raise money and raise awareness for Amnesty.

I am a Priority Campaign Manager for Amnesty UK currently running our My Body My Rights campaign on sexual and reproductive rights. Also working on our soon to be launched campaign on Human Rights in the UK!

I've worked at Amnesty for nearly 10 years and have campaigned on poverty and human rights, maternal health, corporate accountability, forced evictions and housing rights. I have also worked in Amnesty's Scotland office where I did a lot of work on torture and rendition and trafficking.

Campaign Manager - Crisis & Tactical. My current focus is managing our Syria and Israel/Palestine work as well as ensuring we respond effectively to crisis situations.

Likes - Traveling, footy, dogs (mine), good food, climbing, drumming, good music (jazz, funk, unclassified and my own, floating in the sea, not getting caught.
