About me

An activist for as long as I can remember, I've been working at Amnesty UK since 2001. I'm currently a Campaigner in our Human Rights Defenders Programme, focussing particularly on the Americas and Former Soviet Union regions. Outside Amnesty, I enjoy reading, watching films, running, eating delicious vegan food, and I'm something of an athletics-nerd.
