We all wear many hats 🧢👒🎩

Recently, I got to wear both my #SanctuaryRunners & #HealthResearch hats at the Refugee & Migrant Health Networking & Knowledge Exchange Seminar

Led by @davidh95.bsky.social - Ola & I are working with David on exciting research about the Sanctuary Runners community 💙💛

When I’m not doing research stuff I like to run with #SanctuaryRunners 🏃, tend to my much loved plant children🪴,drink too much coffee ☕️ , generally be outdoors (preferably by the sea) 🌊 & watch trash tv 📺 when it’s a bit too wild outside for adventures
