I am an international election analyst who works with organisations including the Westminster Foundation for Democracy, the Carter Center and the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe. A central focus of my work is advising on the inclusion of marginalised groups, including disabled people, in the electoral process.

When I was diagnosed with dyspraxia at university, I was dismayed to find a lack of dyspraxic role models online. My Fellowship sought to change that by embarking on the first documented end-to-end crossing of Cuba using a means of transport particularly challenging for dyspraxic people - a bicycle. I successfully accomplished this feat and was awarded a Churchill Medallion and Mike Jones Award in recognition. Now, when newly diagnosed people with dyspraxia seek inspiration, I am reassured that they can draw on my story.

I took forward the impact of my Fellowship into my career, by working to ensure that other champions of disabled inclusivity received national recognition, and later by helping to design disabled-inclusive methodologies for election observers. This includes pathbreaking work assessing disability inclusion in online election campaigns in countries including Tunisia, the Gambia, and Zambia.
