Rosalyn is a researcher in Nesta's Government Innovation team.

Her work explores how civic crowdfunding models can lead to community ownership and governance of local assets, and how innovations in technology and governance can help give people greater control over how they can use personal data and share it for the public good. 

Rosalyn has previously undertaken research for a PhD in sustainable cities and human behaviour, worked in a co-operative and in her spare time is involved in voluntary organisations.
