Me
​
​
My drive in life is to live my best life and enable others to live life to the fullest because I am personally aware that not everyone gets that chance.
When I was a child I suffered from some severe health complications. This challenge gave me a unique perspective about the world and how we manage it, the challenges we all face and the true depth to our internal resilience.
​
Interests
​
In 2020 I completed my undergraduate degree, where I was awarded an Upper Second in politics at Brunel University.
My interest in politics initially came about from canvassing with my father in the 2005 General Election. Throughout school, I was desperate to study more about the subject and so was thrilled to get the chance in 2016 for my degree.
I found that during my degree I studied a varied array of political topics. However it was public policy that my focus has shifted too since embarking on my career. For me the debate around policy shapes our short, medium and long term future. I have seen the change that policy debate can have and at this stage of my life I am eager to carry on my small contribution through my research to this very important line of work.
​​
To that end my research interests, which can be found on the 'Research Portfolio' page, focus on:
​
The Analysis of How Political Mechanisms Work, Concerning the Resolution of Critical Issues.
​
Exploring The Relationship of Our Inner Resilience to Trauma and How We Can Utilise This Force to Thrive.
​
Ethos
​
Despite the challenges, we may face the one freedom that can never be taken away is our ability to choose our own attitude. Me? I choose to listen to good music, watch comedy, give everything I have to my goals and live my life to the fullest by drawing the most of each day I have.
​
I strive; to live, maximise potential and contribute, in the name of those that never got the chance!
