Maisie comes to Princeton after nearly a decade working in politics and policy in her home city of London. From 2014-18, Maisie served as an elected councillor in the London Borough of Southwark, representing the Labour Party. In the second half of her term, she was promoted to a Cabinet position - delivering strategic political leadership for Public Health, Parks & Leisure and Social Regeneration across an inner London borough of 300,000 people. Most recently, Maisie headed up Campaigns & Public Affairs for a high-profile charity - shaping and influencing the public policy environment to better respond to Britain's ageing population. Prior to this, Maisie built her career in policy and public affairs in both the health and financial sectors, as well as being active in local Labour Party politics. An experienced political campaigner, she also volunteered as a Fall Fellow on the 2012 Obama Campaign in Las Vegas. Maisie is passionate about reducing social inequality through good public policy and community-led initiatives. She is honored to be coming to Princeton as a Fulbright Scholar and will be joined by her husband and young daughter. Hailing from a family of professional musicians, Maisie is a trumpeter in her spare time - which has been fairly hard to come by in recent years!
