Between 2009 and 2021, I worked abroad with the United Nations and other international organisations, in countries such as Uganda and Afghanistan, focusing on food security, peacebuilding, migration and crime. I developed strategy and fundraising efforts, coordinated a global team and produced research to guide policymakers.

In 2021, I returned to the UK. Currently based near the Wiltshire Somerset border, I work with the Global Initiative as a Senior Expert, on a consultancy capacity. I also run a UK-based limited company, Genesis Advisory, which is focused on climate, peace and security issues.

Since 2022, I have engaged more on local UK issues. On a pro-bono basis, I actively supported the successful ‘Mayday Saxonvale’ campaign to promote more local engagement and ownership of the 20-acre brownfield site in Saxonvale, Frome. I have produced research on how local government can promote circular economic initiatives at the town council level. I subsequently became a Director, of the community interest company, Loop, which aims to promote circular economic activities in Frome. I have worked with Loop in a pro-bono capacity.
