Aisha Assem

I recently completed my undergraduate degree in Politics and International Relations at LSE. I have spent the last year working as a research analyst in political risk consulting and I have worked in global commodities and North American research; I have had articles published for our network of 22,000 readers. My experience in a customer facing environment comes from working as a bartender at the Royal Albert Hall where I consistently upselled products in order to maximise sales.

My interests range from economic diplomacy to inequality and development and I have experience with open source intelligence gathering. I am a meticulous individual with excellent communication and organisational skills, and the ability to pick up new roles quickly.
