My substantive expertise is policy issues related to the regulation of illegal and harmful content online, but I have also worked across the full range of contemporary digital policy issues, including cybersecurity; competition; and privacy. I have close to 10 years professional experience in public policy, and have previously worked as an EU digital policy consultant with a leading public affairs agency in Brussels and in communications roles in Dublin.
