I am the Co-chair of the Public Involvement (Public, Community, Involvement, Engagement and Participation Coordinating Group) group at the ARC EoE. I live in Norwich and I work in Mid Norfolk as a Community Connector. I came to the UK as a refugee and I enjoy living in Norfolk as the countryside brings about my childhood memories. I enjoy being part of the ARC EoE team because I am able to support researchers to identify ways in which they can provide inclusive research opportunities thus bridging the gap between research and communities.
