Rain is a Researcher at Cordis Bright and an experienced evaluation and mixed-methods researcher. Her previous work and research has specialised in youth justice, vulnerabilities in childhood, child protection, online harm, and public perceptions of criminality and mental health.
“What I enjoy most is producing research that accurately reflects the lived experience of people. Ensuring the voices of participants are integral to me. I take great care into making sure that research is people-led and trauma-informed so that participants feel part of and included in the research, rather than something that is done to them.”
Rain has extensive experience in mixed-methods research and in designing and delivering evaluations, including sensitively incorporating perspectives from cohorts, working collaboratively with stakeholders, analysing and interpreting quantitative and qualitative data, and meaningfully contributing to reports that inform service development.
Her recent work includes research and evaluation projects across youth justice services, crime prevention, criminal justice services, homelessness, and wider health and social care. Across these areas, she has particularly enjoyed working to develop, engage with, and conduct interviews, focus groups, and workshops with stakeholders from a trauma informed approach and ensuring that her research reflects the lived realities and experiences of the people involved.
Prior to joining Cordis Bright, Rain worked as a Research and Evaluation Assistant at the NSPCC, designing and conducting mixed-methods research on children's wellbeing and child protection. This included contributing to a co-design two-strand study examining the prevalence of online blackmail in the United Kingdom.
Earlier in her career, Rain was part of the Republic of Ireland's first national rollout of Education and Mental Health Wellbeing Practitioners. She delivered evidence-based wellbeing and low-intensity CBT interventions for children aged 6–13 to support a whole-school approach to mental health and wellbeing.
Rain holds a BSc in Psychology from University College Dublin and a MSc in Applied Forensic Psychology with Placement from University of Bath. Her MSc dissertation focused on young people’s understanding of consent and harm when using Generative AI to create sexual content.
