Research & Evaluation Consultant — Education & Social Policy | Sociologist of Sport

Profile Summary

I am a sociologist of sport and freelance research and evaluation consultant with a PhD from the University of Leicester (2025) and seven years of applied experience across elite sport, education, and cross-sector consultancy. I specialise in qualitative and mixed-methods research, programme evaluation, and inclusion-focused projects at the intersection of sport, education, and social policy. My recent work includes leading fieldwork and analysis on a Sport England-funded study of workforce diversity networks, and embedded research and education delivery across Premier League football academies. I work with research consultancies, sport organisations, education bodies, and third-sector clients who need rigorous, accessible research translated into actionable insight. I bring both academic credibility and practitioner fluency — I understand the evidence and the real-world settings it has to work in.
