I’m an activist involved with many ongoing grassroots human rights and environmental campaigns. At ActionAid, I helped build this website (kept it well oiled, etc), and am now responsible for our youth activism, digital campaigning and campaigns communication.

My favourite thing about working at ActionAid is hearing about people's struggles from all over the world, and being able to use my geek skills to help them.
