Having just graduated from the University of Sussex with a BA Hons in ‘International Development and Anthropology’, I am excited to apply the skills I’ve learnt throughout my degree to the evaluation report I am conducting for Citrus Ornge. I feel grateful for the opportunity to create a white paper for Citrus Ornge’s social mission (aiming for 50% of the workforce being ex-offenders or in recovery from addiction) and be part of the team for the next 6 weeks. In my free time I like salsa, doing crafty bits and sea swims!
