Hi, I’m Hannah….

With over 15 years of experience in refugee protection programming, I have worked both internationally and in the UK. Much of my work has focused on managing women and girls’ protection and empowerment programmes in humanitarian contexts, both in refugee camps and urban settings, and embedding trauma-informed practices into programming and organizational systems.

I have worked extensively with organisations to build internal capacity on trauma-informed practice, including the NHS, Local Authorities, schools, international organisations and local charities. In 2023, I was invited to deliver a workshop on Trauma Informed Practice at the Global Gathering for Refugee Sponsorship, in Lisbon, Portugal.

I have worked with international humanitarian organisations including the International Rescue Committee and Alight (formally American Refugee Committee) as well as the British Red Cross and community based organisations including Reset Communities for Refugees, the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (Burma) and Africa & Middle East Refugee Assistance.

I have a PGCert in Psychological Trauma and an MSc in Refugee studies, for which I was awarded the Course Directors Prize for Outstanding Achievement.
