I am a political analyst and strategist with four years of experience working in the heart of Westminster. Currently based between Warsaw and London, I am the co-Founder and Director of Bright Blue Europe and Head of Policy for Bright Blue globally.

Over the course of my work, I authored ten research reports, published over sixty articles in twelve different publications, including the Spectator and the Critic, and hired seven full-time employees. Under my leadership, the research team at Bright Blue published eighteen analyses and had around thirty of its policy recommendations adopted by either the UK Government or major UK political parties. Our work has been featured, among others, on the BBC, GB News, LBC, and Vatican News.

I am also the Editor-in-Chief of Centre Write and a political adviser to several political campaigns.

I am primarily interested in social policy, political philosophy, and political strategy. Before working in politics, I read for a Master's in Philosophical Theology and for a BA in Philosophy and Theology at the University of Oxford. You can find my work on those topics on this website.
