Meet Our Team

Our work is made possible by a dedicated team of student editors, writers, and contributors who share a commitment to excellence and innovation.

It has been a pleasure to oversee the revival of the IPPR as Editor-in-Chief. Before coming to UCL as a masters student, I studied History and Political Economy at King’s College London. Whilst at KCL, I was Deputy Editor of the student newspaper, Roar News, where I led investigations, oversaw news coverage and interviewed leading political figures.

I have always worked to platform student voice and amplify ideas that challenge the status-quo. It has been very exciting to do this at the IPPR, alongside a team of very talented editors, designers and writers. I hope to see the IPPR live on beyond my time at UCL and continue to celebrate innovative student research and thought provoking political insight.
