I've been living in London for the past decade and that's where I consider home to be. I'm currently undertaking a research degree in Sydney, focusing on the experiences of queer refugees. Prior to this I've spent the last few years working as a caseworker in a legal aid immigration law firm in London working on human rights and asylum claims, and volunteering in refugee & detainee support groups. I'm QPOC.
