Up until recently Karen worked for Sheffield Hallam University, teaching urban planning and researching social and economic inequality, local labour markets and women’s employment.
Prior to that she worked for the Centre for Public Services providing advice and support to public bodies, trade unions and community organisations across the UK and as a researcher for Sheffield City Council’s Department of Employment and Economic Development.
She has lived in Sheffield since 1982 and is very pleased to be able to contribute to supporting the vital work of Citizens Advice to diverse communities across the city
