A bit about Dfiza

Dfiza is an MSc (DTP) Social Research student at the University of Hull, who is passionate about conducting research that promotes wellbeing and inclusivity. She employs qualitative (interviews and focus group discussions), quantitative (surveys) and mixed methods techniques to gather data informed by the research question (problem).

Her role at FareShare Hull & Humber as a Social Research and Data Analyst is geared towards updating the database of its CFMs to improve the distribution of surplus food as well as measure its social impact.
