I am an interim project associate at DDCS, where I support core business development, delivery, and process. This involves creation and publication of company resources, support for the delivery of commissioned projects and inputs, and support for the delivery of internal and external facing processes and procedures. I am currently in my final year of a psychology degree at the University of Reading, and I have experience supporting children and young people with special educational needs and disabilities. I am passionate about fostering equality and diversity across the public health system and addressing barriers to service access. Outside of work I enjoy travelling and spending time with family and friends.

Anna is an Interim Programme Associate at DDCS, helping to shape the organisation’s work across projects, communications, and day-to-day operations. She’s involved in everything from creating resources and supporting commissioned work to improving internal processes. 

With a growing interest in health and social care, and a strong commitment to inclusion and equity, Anna works closely with the team to turn big plans into real impact.

Hi! I’m the website designer for DDCS, creating a safe space for the company to put their research and achievements, but also to allow them to be more accessible for people who would find their services helpful. When I’m not working I’m usually spending time with my 13 snakes or getting lost in a videogame.

I’m a recent Liberal Arts graduate driven by social justice and improving policy. In the past, I have taken on writing roles for The Feminist Library and Roar News, focusing on socio-political commentary and human rights policy. While working as a caseworker at the Trans Legal Clinic, my casework team and I were able to make tangible progress and advocate consistently for a client on a multi-faceted housing and discrimination case. Moving forward from these experiences, I am confident and eager to continue growing as a tenacious professional in social care and policy. I hope to work together to make a tangible difference in child healthcare and care systems around us!
