My book has been published, which is entitled ‘An International Humanitarian Organisation: A United Nations of the People’. The book is published by Cambridge Scholar Publishing, succeeding in the book being reviewed by their panel of professors and experts. I have also published articles in the Ecologist and the Global Minds in the Global Journal as an expert member.
Some of the areas of my consultancy work have been as Policy Advisor for the Government on Energy and Climate Change and Policy Expert for the Green Party on developing their 2015 general election manifesto and a renewable energy charter. In the Green Party I worked with headquarters to write a report on energy, encouraging cross-collaboration with NGOs and multimedia presentation online. I was also an International Policy Advisor, Trustee, Parliamentary Liaison Coordinator for the International Simultaneous Policy Organisation (ISPO). I gave presentations in front of key influencers to further the reach and impact of the organisation.
Currently I give presentations and speeches that explore the way international law can fix global problems. I add depth and insight on finding intelligent solutions. My presentations and speeches engage, enlighten, entertain and motivate, which direct any audiences into further insights. My commentary on international relations offers insights and solutions to the current uncertainties and concerns across the world.
I am also the UK National Coordinator for the Club of Budapest, Expert Member for the Global Journal, Member of WildLawUK Steering Committee and Member of Earth Law Alliance. My work has also been on RT three times, giving live interviews for the 9pm Evening News regarding the Infrastructure Bill in the Queens Speech and the legal issues on energy and environmental policies.
Having a life-long interest in politics, during my undergraduate studies I gained an internship out of 200 people with then the Secretary of State for International Development, the Rt Hon Hilary Benn MP; and was also research intern and conference organiser for the Fabian Society. During and after my Masters, I was an Advice and Referral Caseworker for the Environmental Law Foundation (ELF) and Senior Casework Aide of Refugee and Migrant Justice (RMJ).
I hold a Bachelor of Arts (B.A) in Politics and Parliamentary studies and a Master of Laws (LLM) in International Law. My key strengths are collaboration, strategy, analysis and communication. I am an experienced and confident public speaker and have given lectures for a number of conferences, universities and organisations. One example was being invited to speak at the Integral European Conference in Budapest, presenting ‘An Integral Approach to Solving the Climate Crisis’ and 'The Future of International Politics and Law in an Integrated World''
At a personal and academic level I have intensively studied political philosophy and legal theory (Jurisprudence), which have both been a contribution to my book. Currently I am writing another book on philosophy to be published next year.
On another note, I have a strong interest and in-depth knowledge of both eastern and western philosophy. I gave a presentation for the British Humanist Society, Centre for Inquiry and the Ethical Society at Conway Hall with Stephen Law; English philosopher and Reader in Philosophy at Heythrop College, University of London and editor for the philosophical journal Think, which is sponsored by the Royal Institute of Philosophy and published by the Cambridge University Press, also alongside Robin Ince; well-known comedian, and Francesca Stavrakopoulou; Professor of the Hebrew Bible and Ancient Religion at Exeter’s Department of Theology and Religion.
