Summary

Project Support professional with a Master’s in Public Policy and five years of experience supporting policy and advocacy projects and campaigns within the NGO sector. I have contributed to high-impact initiatives across gender justice, social care, and international development, providing research, coordination, and communication support. I have worked closely with policy and advocacy teams, helping to deliver evidence-based outputs, stakeholder briefings, and campaign materials. Skilled in literature reviews, drafting policy-relevant content, and summarising complex information, I bring strong organisation, attention to detail, and the ability to work across teams and with external partners. I have a solid understanding of UK political processes and a strong interest in health and social policy.
