I completed my BEd in Primary School Education in Linz, Austria with a focus on reform pedagogies and creative and dramatic practice within english as a second language learning. After completing several internships in the field of education and creative practices with orphanages, schools, and social service providers, I completed a MA in Education focusing on International Development. Currently, I am a doctoral trainee at Open Lab, Newcastle University and have a broad interest in learning, focusing on digitally mediated peer learning and support among people who are often invisible or marginalised.
