Research Consultant – London Office
Anna Pearl Johnson is a Research Consultant in the London Office of Rocket Science. Previously, she worked with the Reach Alliance conducting qualitative fieldwork on the effects of life in English temporary accommodation on the health and wellbeing of children under-5, looking specifically at play as an indicator of development. This experience, uplifting the expertise of vulnerable communities, coupled with curiosity and passion for problem-solving, drives Anna’s interest in research.
With a background spanning policy, economic development and communications, Anna is skilled in translating complex research findings into actionable insights. Her interest areas are varied, including placemaking and the built environment, the health and wellbeing of children and young people, and the arts as a tool for social change.
