I'm a Dublin-based senior planner with Hub Planning, specialising in social and strategic plan-making. I am also a PhD candidate at University College Dublin. My current research and professional interest is focused on public trust in planning and the application of trauma-informed and healing-centered approaches to planning practice and research. I came to regional and urban planning by way of a humanities and social science background, and I'm so excited by the idea of planning and designing for joy, dignity and equity.
