Aliyah has a background in politics, with in-depth knowledge of national politics and the Parliamentary process, having previously worked as a Parliamentary Assistant for a number of years. She is most excited about the chance for a four-day week to reshape the way we think about work, and for the extra time to do some gardening; if the weather allows.
