Hi! I'm Maria and I am a current undergraduate scholar from the University of Leeds. I study Law and I aspire to be a corporate solicitor.
Hi! I'm Yasmin and I am a part of the 2022 cohort of Laidlaw Scholars. I am currently in my final year of study of the Neuroscience course at the University of Leeds! My research project is on Microglia Activation in Ageing and Neurodegenerative Diseases.
Hello! My name is Ciara O' Malley.
As a Laidlaw Scholar I gained experience in multimedia production, producing a video series for the UCL youtube page - which you can watch here - and working for 6 months at Tortoise Media, the new owners of the Observer newspaper.
After graduation, I worked for 6 months at Times Radio as an assistant producer before joining the Civil Service as an Economist. In my role in the Department for Education, I'm learning SQL and Python to improve my analysis of government policy.
Long-term, I aim to combine my experience as a government economist with my passion for news, journalism, and data.
Hello! I was Laidlaw scholar in 2019, and I studied national, regional, and local identity in northern Tajikistan through the lens of women's fashion. For a year after graduating, I worked for the UN Mine Action Service which removes landmines from conflict and post-conflict regions. I then worked for the Laidlaw Foundation 2021-22 and completed a Master's Degree in Anthropology and Development Management at the London School of Economics. Now I'm working with the UN on innovative finance for biodiversity conservation, focusing on marine ecosystems.
Please feel free to reach out on the network, on LinkedIn, or by email. I'm always happy to meet new people and chat.
Hi, I'm Rebecca! I'm now a Laidlaw alumni, having received my Law LLB (International) degree from the University of Leeds with a study abroad year at Queens University, Canada. My first summer project revolved around young people's active travel habits, which combines my interest in working with children/youth law and my interest in all things sport. My LIA was based in Maine, USA, and involved working with a charitable summer camp to help facilitate their camp programs, which enables children and adults from low income backgrounds or with disabilities to access a summer camp the same as their peers do!
Studying Sustainability and Environment Management (International) MEnv, BSc at University of Leeds after a couple of years as a reporter. Interested in ecology, completed research project last year on the effects of honey trade on UK bees, now planning a Leadership in Action project.
