Hattie has an BSc Econ in Sociology from Cardiff University. Her previous experience in teaching, criminal justice and substance misuse recovery services bring her useful skills in engaging with diverse communities and implementing trauma-informed, sensitive approaches.
Hattie has been working for The Lines Between on a part-time basis to support with consultation analysis, coding, transcriptions, and tracking proposals and contract opportunities over the past two years. She joined the team in April 2025 on a full-time basis as a Research Analyst.
Alongside her work for The Lines Between, Hattie has spent the past two years using her TEFL training to teach English to a range of age groups, from primary school children to adults, in Bangkok and Prague.
She has also worked as a Young Adult Caseworker with Future 4, G4S, where she worked alongside South Wales Police to identify, engage, and assess Young Adults suitable for a Diversion scheme. In this role Hattie developed and delivered a structured programme of education, care, and support for Young Adults. She used psycho-social interventions, motivational interviewing, and active listening techniques to establish relationships with clients and created and delivered educational workshops on topics such as substance impact, mental health, knife crime, and hate crime.
Before this Hattie was a Substance Misuse Practitioner in Cardiff Prison, where she provided an in-depth assessment of people's needs related to substance use on arrival to prison. Hattie supported individuals by providing structured interventions, advice, and harm minimisation and wrote and submitted referrals to other specialist services.
