Doctoral researcher at Cardiff University's School of Geography and Planning, researching institutional barriers to self-build housing in England using Historical and Discursive Institutionalism frameworks. This research deepens my expertise in land use policy, planning regulation, and how institutional and governance structures shape real-world development outcomes — insight I bring directly into my freelance urban planning and GIS work, from land use and site suitability analysis to strategic planning reports, helping clients navigate the regulatory and institutional landscape behind their projects.
