Welcome. I’m a director at IDinsight, where I lead the Dignity Initiative — furthering my research on dignity and development.

I am the author, with Cait Lamberton and Neela Saldanha, of Marketplace Dignity, published in 2024 by Penn Press. I work to advance justice and support citizens through useful research.

Before IDinsight, I founded The Dignity Project, a campaign for more respectful development. I’ve also led the Violence Against Children department at Raising Voices in Uganda, and spent two years with the Busara Center for Behavioral Economics. Before that, I worked in London on research projects spanning social development, conflict, policy and behavioural science. I’ve led many social science research projects across East Africa, the Middle East and South Asia.

I hold a Master’s in Communication for Development from Malmö University in Sweden, and an undergraduate degree in War Studies from King’s College, London. I’ve held fellowships with the University of Notre Dame’s Pulte Institute for Global Development (2024) and Accountability Lab (2026).
