I am a doctoral research student based in the Department of Psychological Sciences at Birkbeck College, University of London; conducting a phenomenological study investigating lived experience co-creativity within a dementia-care context. I am also the main carer for my mother who has Alzheimer’s, one of the London champions for the LENS network (people with Lived Experience) which is part of the Culture Health and Wellbeing Alliance, and an ambassador for the UK charity Dementia Carers Count.
