Florence started her ESRC funded research at the LSE Gender Department in 2020. Her research explores the discursive realities of the creation and implementation of the Women, Peace and Security Agenda and wider policy frameworks on gender, peace, and security.  Her research aims to understand who gets to shape the agenda through the creation and regulation of discursive terrains, where the WPS agenda is located, and how this location is stipulated through language. 

Florence has worked in Policy and Advocacy roles for Plan International and UN Women where her work focused on girls' rights in conflict and humanitarian contexts and youth advocacy. She is also the Co-Founder of 'Our Generation for Inclusive Peace', a global youth led initiative. Florence holds a master's degree in Women, Peace and Security from the LSE Gender Department and undergraduate degree in Social Anthropology from The University of Manchester.
