Profile

I have been working in Transport Planning since 2014, with experiences across both the public and private sectors at TfL and GHD, respectively. I am currently undertaking a PhD in Transport part-time, focusing my research into attempting to understand why the UK Government has chosen to so substantially increase subsidies since privatisation in the 1990's.
