Biography

My professional background is in research, evaluation and policy development across youth justice and crime prevention, and child and family programmes. Since completing a Master's Degree in Community Development at NUI Galway in 2008 I have worked in research and programme evaluation projects on behalf of the UNESCO Child and Family Research Centre (UCFRC) at the University of Galway and the Research Evidence into Policy, Programmes, and Practice (REPPP) project at University of Limerick (UL). I am currently the lead researcher on the ‘Making it Count' project, which studies how to make better use of evidence generated routinely in the youth justice system in order to inform youth justice policy and practice. In 2022, I completed the Professional Diploma in Data Analytics (with first class hons) at UL.
