Bio

I graduated from the University of Cambridge in 2022 with a degree in German and Italian, and I spent the past year in Austria as an English language assistant.

Through my conversations with students about societal and global issues, I realised I wanted to explore working in a role that would create change in the world, which led me to CASE.

I’m especially interested in gender equality. During my time at university, I completed Women’s Aid Ask Me training, which taught me so much about the societal issue of domestic abuse and gave me the skills needed to run my own sessions at my college as an Ask Me ambassador.

I am particularly looking forward to learning about equality and diversity in higher education fundraising as part of my CASE training.

Outside of work and studies, I enjoy ballroom and Latin dancing, which I did competitively at university, and look forward to resuming in Manchester. I also love history and travel, so I am excited to explore an area of the country which I am less familiar with.

I am thrilled to have been given this opportunity, and I hope to use my year as a CASE graduate to learn about the sector, develop my interest in fundraising, and take on as many opportunities as possible along the way.
