Work history
    Crash-Course Producer
     - London, United KingdomFreelance
    www.ecnmy.org is a public education project which aims to educate, entertain and campaign. The 'Learn' section of the website demystifies economic theory and debates in a way that is accessible for the General Public, and aims to bridge the knowledge gap between economists and citizens. We also provide up to date commentary on the news and current events, that talks about economics in a fun but informative way. Behind the scenes we are working with economists and the media to make economics publications more understandable. I am also working on a series of DIY workshops that explore 10 areas of economics in a fun and accessible way. The workshops are designed so that anyone can facilitate them, and that groups of friends and colleagues can explore and learn about economics together. http://www.ecnmy.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/CrashCourseWorkshops.pdf
    Head of Campaigns
     - Full Time
    Rethinking Economics (RE) campaigns to change the way economics is taught in Universities and schools. I am responsible for support students to campaign at their local universities by providing tailored campaigning support and producing supporting resources and materials. I design and run workshops for students both in how to run their own society, how to run their campaign, and introductory workshops on 'Why Rethink Economics'. As part of our campaign I have spoken at various events and to media outlets such as the Guardian, the BBC World Service and in independent film Boom Bust Boom.
