The Pollokshields Trust is a community enabling organisation on Glasgow's Southside. I am working with them to develop a strategy for securing land with suitable tenure in the area which will promote the sustainable development of Pollokshields, monitoring and making use of existing and emerging community land ownership legislation.

* I was appointed to help organise an event bringing people together to discuss the current state of the historic built environment in Glasgow * the city's older buildings, spaces and places. To support the event and help inform discussion I: * focused on identifying gaps in evidence * critically examined available information to pose provocative questions and prompt new thinking * worked extensively to curate an invite list for the event, thinking laterally about who was implicated in and affected by Glasgow's built environment, and extending discussion beyond the "usual suspects" * presented information to all participants in an accessible, infographic-style snapshot report which encouraged critical engagement with the current state of Glasgow's historic built environment, collecting, combining and analysing data from a wide range of sources * created and published an interactive online map (using QGIS, Open Street Map and Leaflet) of information about Glasgow's historic built environment, for the general public to interrogate.

* Analytical role focused on building an evidence base in justice policy and providing analysis to * support policy-making informed by evidence. * Skills developed and used in this role include: * Quantitative research and modelling skills, including scenario modelling and data matching * Qualitative research skills, including different approaches to interviewing and effectively analysing interview transcripts. * Communication skills, including daily interaction with stakeholders within and outside of government. * Presentation skills, including presenting information to both experts and non-experts through careful prioritisation of information and well thought-out visual design.

I work on the design through to delivery of walking and cycling infrastructure in Glasgow, for projects funded through Sustrans' Community Links PLUS competition. This includes: - working in partnership with Glasgow City Council - using design, evidence and communication skills to promote high quality urban design, focusing on how walking and cycling infrastructure can facilitate movement of people and the creation of great places to live, work and play - making contacts and engaging with local residents, community groups and other stakeholders to ensure the projects deliver what is needed and wanted
