Policy Intern
The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (DEFRA)
I had an active role in the EU Exit Environmental Regulations team, helping identify future legislative and policy direction for the department in relation to BREXIT:
• I analysed existing environmental legislation, suggesting regulatory wins post EU Exit as well as highlighting inoperability amongst current legislation
• I prepared submissions to department directors and fed into ministerial briefings;
• I acted as a central point of contact between lawyers, other governmental departments and devolved administrations in regards to environmental regulations and EU Exit.
