Overview

I am a Research Associate in British Muslim Studies at Cardiff University’s Centre for the Study of Islam in the UK. 

I am a mixed methods (QUANT-QUAL) researcher. My research interests include labour market inequalities, migration, and mental health.

I enjoy working on co-produced projects with third sector organisations to conduct research that helps people to live healthy, happy and productive lives.
