In parallel with senior fundraising roles, she has also led on communications. Annwen holds an M.St in Art History and Visual Culture and has studied in London, Oxford, San Diego and Cape Town. Her Masters research, which explored the visuality of HIV/ AIDS in South African public health material, was published in the African Journal of AIDS Research.
