Originally from Aotearoa New Zealand, I am a current doctoral researcher in the Faculty of Education at the University of Cambridge in the UK. My work centers on the sociology of education policy, with a particular interest in both curriculum and teacher policy. I have published on educational reform in Aotearoa and at a global level, and have co-produced two reports on literacy policy for NZ-based NGO The Education Hub. Before working in research, I spent five years as a secondary school teacher, working in Manurewa and Lower Hutt.
