Aimee is a programme coordinator at Challenge Works currently supporting the Ofwat Innovation Fund team.

Previously, Aimee worked as a student consultant with the British Red Cross where she evaluated a UK-wide education programme and analysed its impacts across the country. She was also a foreign policy and defence writer intern for Our National Conversation and newsletter editor for the Project Management Institute. 

She has recently finished her master's in local economic development at the London School of Economics and Political Science, honing a special interest in innovation, artificial intelligence (AI) and inclusive growth policies. Her dissertation research examines regional differences in attitudes towards and adoption of AI across local authorities in the UK. Outside of her studies, Aimee was the student representative for her programme and was involved in university societies. 

Beyond work, Aimee enjoys baking, hiking, exploring new cafes, completing sudoku puzzles, playing cards and travelling.
