-I am a director and creative engagement manager at SfSSW CIC. This is a Manchester based
organisation supporting students working in and researching the sex work industry. The
organisation was awarded funding from the National Lottery Community Grant in 2023. In
this role I coordinate research projects focusing on the history of Sex Work and Sexual
Health, spanning the Medieval to Victorian Era in Britain. This research has been presented
at conferences and educational events and is included in the training provided by SFSSW to

Universities across the country. Additionally, in this role I am responsible for organising
conferences, publications and exhibitions.
