I first entered the political sphere at the age of 17, working in my local polling station in Bonnybridge. As an energised first-time voter, it really struck me how disconnected the political world can be from real people and issues. My mission is to change that and be an interlocutor between the local and political.
I joined the team at Charlotte Street Partners last year as a summer intern and now support a vast range of clients across housing, the third sector, and financial services. There’s nothing better than the sense that hard work behind-the-scenes is helping to create real change in the world.
My interests are far-reaching, and studying geography at the University of Glasgow has equipped me with a global perspective. As part of my dissertation, I focused on multilingualism among luxury hotel staff – across languages and cultures, continents and countries.
Working with the best in the business, it’s a joy to step in the office every day and offer my two cents.
