I'm Laura from Antrim, Northern Ireland. I graduated from my MA in International Relations and Politics in 2024 after completing my undergraduate in History at Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU). Though coming to LJMU it felt like a last-minute UCAS Clearing decision, it has come to be the best decision I ever made. I now work at LJMU in the Global Opportunities Team, and I have been here professionally for just over a year.
