A photographer, researcher and advocate, Beatrice has spent much of her career working for international human rights and humanitarian organisations. Throughout, her work has been focused on acquiring deep contextual understandings that help inform programming. Listening to people’s perspectives and stories, she has sought to find ways to communicate these to stakeholders in order to drive meaningful change.

Always interested in other cultures, she studied modern languages and literature, before completing a master’s in international affairs in Berlin, specialising in human rights. Since then, she has worked for international non-governmental organisations including Médecins Sans Frontières and The HALO Trust.

In addition to conducting in-depth, anthropological research into gender-based violence and tuberculosis in Tajikistan, Beatrice has also developed and managed explosive ordnance risk education, health promotion, and community outreach work in the Horn of Africa, Yemen and Syria. In the UK, she has worked as a frontline support worker and advocate for high risk domestic violence survivors within a London mental health team.

Utilising photography as a means of engagement, Beatrice sees visual storytelling as a way to foster empathy and cross-cultural connection. Her work focuses on humanitarian and environmental issues, conflict and gender-based violence.
