From December 2024-August 2025, I led SYP's Amplifying Child Safety Online Program, in partnership with the NSPCC. At the heart of the project were 10 young people, our Digital Safety Ambassadors, passionate advocates ensuring that decisions and policies made to protect children and young people’s right to be safe online reflect real-life experiences and opinions. Alongside the work led by our Digital Safety Ambassadors, we ran insight-gathering and co-design workshops with young people across Scotland, ultimately creating a rich set of resources addressing five key themes: online safety, AI and learning, misinformation, online bullying, and social media and body image. I cannot share any personal information regarding young people or private organizational data, but several pages from the Spring 2025 report are included below, explaining our project approach. More information about this project, including the youth-created resources, can be found on SYP's website.
In Spring 2024, I recruited and guided a working group of 10 young people of color in developing, facilitating, and evaluating a three-part anti-racism training program for all Scottish Youth Parliament members and key stakeholders. After hosting a series of 2-hour live online training sessions for young people, as well as in-person sessions for SYP staff and support workers, I adapted the training to an online version that could be completed by any newly onboarded Youth Parliament members, ensuring consistency in our organization's inclusive language and approach. I cannot share any personal information regarding young people or private organizational data, but several pages from the Spring 2024 report are included below, explaining our program approach. More information about SYP's ongoing anti-racism work can be found on the organization's website.
For my postgraduate dissertation project, I created an evaluative report based on feedback data from LGBT Youth Scotland's LGBT Charter program, an accreditation program that guides Scottish organisations towards more LGBTQ+-inclusive practices and policies. While I cannot share the complete report due to data protection and IP concerns, an excerpt is included below that includes the project framing. The overwhelming response from LGBT Youth Scotland is that the report I created will be invaluable to them as they work towards program development and expansion.
As part of a final group project in my Representing Data course, I responded to a brief from Creative Informatics (CI) asking for data visualizations that would allow them to explore and communicate the geographic and social reach of their funding program. The final product was a dashboard of visuals created through Tableau Desktop based around an interactive map that showcases the relationships between multiple traits of applicants - e.g., SIMD data zone, funding stream, creative sector, and success status.
While working as an Education Program Coordinator at International House, I was tasked with analyzing and reporting all adult and youth program data. Below are examples of reports I made to evidence the impact of Rising Up, an after-school literacy tutoring program, and Rising Readers, a literacy-focused summer camp. Both programs cater to English as a Second Language students in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools (CMS) public education system.
