My work involves taking broad or complex subjects and turning them into clear, well-researched and usable material — whether that means investigating a topic, analysing policy and data, identifying credible sources, finding contributors and subject experts, verifying information, or developing a story from an initial idea.I have particular experience researching Welsh politics, public policy and social issues, including housing, inequality, poverty and governance.
