Recently graduated from the College of Europe, I am currently a Schuman Trainee at the European Parliament, working in DG Communications supporting the Parliament’s Liaison Offices across the EU and externally in London and Washington DC.
Over these last few years, I have studied in-depth the policy, practice, and processes of politics and international relations, and have had the opportunity to work in campaigns and politics to see these in practice.
Enthused by the coming together of states, global actors, and global citizens, and empowered by the transformative power of education; both provide a strong motivation to make an impact in international and European affairs.
Now more than ever we require global solutions to vital issues that we cannot solve on our own, or which stretch across this world. I want to do my bit to help amplify the voice of citizens, and to provide effective policy and communications which support change.
Upon completion of my Traineeship in February 2022, I will be looking to begin a new opportunity in policy and communications at the international level.

Education has changed my life.
Starting in a small community college of further education in the North East of Scotland, I gained the support and passion which encouraged me to be the first in my family to attend university.
In university, I found myself drawn to study, research, and activism that could make a positive impact on the world.
I am proud of my academic journey, and am honoured to be a product of Strathclyde’s ‘useful learning‘, to be one of Glasgow’s ‘world changers‘, and to hold ‘l’esprit du Collège d’Europe‘ in all that I do.
I am passionate about politics and international relations, I want to do my bit to help make the policy and communications in our international affairs more impactful and relevant to people from all walks of life.
With a unique combination of political geekery, an cross-societal understanding, and a passion for policy and communications, I seek to bring these three together in order to make a positive contribution in efforts to tackle the issues of our time.
I am driven to make an difference; I am ready and excited to take my next step!
I am proud to be an active citizen, driven by an instinctive desire to help others and to make a lasting impact for those who will inherit the communities and the world which we too have inherited.
I believe that it is the duty of every responsible citizen to try to leave things in a better state than which we found them; I maintain this drive in my career and academic work, but always find time for volunteering and citizenship action.
No matter what comes next in my career, I will also do what I can to help out.
The opportunity to attend the College of Europe has been a dream of mines for many years, in pursuit of this exceptional course I was pleased to receive the following letters of support:

Read MoreFor the second time in just a few years, a life has been stolen while staff are traumatised as they lose a friend, mentor, boss, and their livelihoods, all in the most terrifying of moments. My thoughts are with all my friends both in elected office and those working in politics.
