Academic biography
I am DCU's Erasmus+ Development Officer. I work with the Research Development and Support team within Research Support Services. I am responsible for supporting the development of Erasmus+ projects (excluding those that focus solely on individual staff or student mobility). I also engage with the ECIU University Alliance (the European Consortium of Innovative Universities) as DCU's representative in an Expert Group of Erasmus+ project officers.

I have completed an MA in International Relations (2007), a PgCert Research Methods (2010), and a PhD on grassroots activism: Reclaiming the commons: a discourse for new politics? How grassroots activists are shaping the future (http://eprints.mdx.ac.uk/15146/) (2015). (Middlesex University, London, UK).
