Julia is Head of Policy, Research & Campaigns at Glitch (maternity cover). Prior to joining Glitch, she completed a PhD in Cybersecurity at the Oxford Internet Institute at the University of Oxford. Her research focused on online safety in the context of intimate partner violence and coercive control. As a part of this research, she co-founded re:configure, a feminist research collective which organised digital security workshops with groups like survivors of image-based sexual abuse, environmental activists, and migrant domestic workers. She is interested in how feminist theories and methods—such as participatory action research and the ethics of care—can improve cybersecurity. She also organises with No Tech for Tyrants, an organisation working to sever the links between higher education, violent technology, and hostile immigration environments. Julia speaks English, Polish, and Spanish.

Gabriela worked across campaigning, policy, research and innovation in the nonprofit sector prior to joining Glitch. Her work includes policy and advocacy work with children at risk of exclusion, participatory research with LGBTQ+ care experienced people and campaigning for disability rights with people with MS. Her passion lies in working with people with lived experience to bring attention to social issues, pushing us to work across sectors to bring about the change we need. Her interest in data and AI ethics is driven by practical experience working with data and decision making in different services and contexts. Her previous work on digital harms focused on online gender-based violence, with a particular focus on intimate image abuse. Her own experience of prolonged self-exclusion from the digital space gives her a deep understanding of how online harm can impact people's lives. Gabriela has a strong ethos of collaboration and speaks English, French, Portuguese and Spanish, meaning she's always looking to collaborate across borders where possible.

Neelam Heera, a Tedx speaker, founded Cysters after facing her own battles around diagnosis and care and wanting to address the health inequalities faced by those from communities of colour and the LGBT community. Most recently the organisation has changed its name to become inclusive of trans communities. Due to this Neelam was faced with weeks of online abuse for having inclusive values, hence why she joined Glitch. Neelam’s work has been recognised by the Pride of Britain and Point of Light awards from the Prime Minister.
