Philosophy
I studied a BA in Philosophy and Politics and an MPhil in Philosophy.
I was also President of the Student Union. I now work freelance in political communications and campaigning and public affairs, with clients in the public, private and 3rd sectors.
I worked for many years in Westminster and Whitehall including as a Special Adviser to the Deputy Prime Minister, the Leader of the House of Commons and the Government Chief Whip. Most recently, I managed the selection campaign for Labour’s candidate for the directly-elected Mayor of Newham. She is now the Mayor.
