I am a strong communicator who has crafted compelling policies and strategies for funds totalling £10bn across the department's core missions. I have experience in policy making and delivery in high-profile areas, with a focus on regional growth and housing policy. Prior to my current role, I was the Strategic Lead for Devolved Administration City and Region Growth Deals, and a Policy Advisor on the Single Housing Infrastructure Fund. I have developed and delivered multiple policies and initiatives that have improved the quality and quantity of housing, infrastructure, and boosted growth in regions and cities. Throughout my roles I have successfully collaborated and partnered with various stakeholders, including devolved administrations, local authorities, private sector, and civil society. I have a keen interest in innovation, cities and regions, and reducing economical inequalities. I am always looking for opportunities to learn and grow and am passionate about levelling up the UK and creating a more inclusive and prosperous society for everyone.
