Isobel joined Collaborate in May 2024 and brings with her experience of working in a variety of roles across the public sector, predominantly within public health and research ethics. After graduating from Cardiff University with a BSc in Social Science, Isobel gained experience working in public health communications and more recently in the coordination and facilitation of nationwide Research Ethics Committee’s.

Isobel has experience conducting both quantitative and qualitative research, with a specific focus on resilience and coping within homeless young adults, from a youth workers perspective. Her findings showed that homeless young adults were systematically disadvantaged by the current structuring of services, which deepened Isobel’s passion to join an organisation that works to address inequality and reduce barriers and is what led her to Collaborate.
