I am a DPhil candidate in International Development at the University of Oxford. Prior to this, I undertook an MPhil in African Studies and a Bachelor with Honours in Politics and International Development. I worked under the Diversity, Candidates and Membership Teams of the Liberal Democrats, where I was responsible for organising and coordinating Future Women's MP Weekend for prospective electoral candidates. I also worked as a free-lance opinion writer for TheSouthAfrican.com as well as the Daily Maverick.
