With a Masters Degree in European Public Affairs from Maastricht University, I have the necessary skills to engage with European policymakers and critically evaluate EU legislation. I also have a Bachelor of Arts in History and Politics from Loughborough University, where I customised my modules according to my passion for European politics and developed my knowledge of the Westminster political system. As a Government Affairs Executive at STEP, I assist in raising STEP's profile by organising and drafting consultation responses and contributing to its thought leadership campaigns. Previously, I worked as an EU Policy Officer at the British Chamber of Commerce | EU & Belgium, where I organised policy briefings for the international business community, monitored media outlets on UK-EU relations, and represented the Chamber's interests at events with MEPs and Commission officials. I have strong skills in media monitoring, stakeholder mapping, and policy analysis, as well as a keen interest in the economic, political, and legal components of the EU.
