Louise qualified as a social worker in 2014 and worked in a children’s disability team for two years followed by three years in frontline child protections teams.

Before social work, she spent time working in international development where she undertook research for NGOs and completed a PhD which explored socio-cultural livelihood impoverishment when people were moved from informal settlements in the centre of Phnom Penh, Cambodia, to resettlement sites outside the city. Louise has spent time living in Southern Africa and Cambodia.
