About Eloise

Eloise is 30 and a resident of Diss where she is currently working towards a PhD in constitutional law following which she intends to pursue a future in academia.

Her family have lived in East Anglia for a number of years with her mother living locally since the late 1990s and she fully appreciates the benefits of living in this scenic town particularly after spending the first ten years of her career in London.

Since graduating from King’s College London with first class honours in Law in 2000, she has spent several years working as a political adviser/campaigns manager for a range of organisations from the Country Landowner’s Association (CLA) to the London Chamber of Commerce and the British Retail Consortium. Her experience of countryside issues and business make her an ideal person to represent Diss at the District Council.

She then spent a couple of years working for a Government Department, where her roles included working for a Minister in the healthcare field.

She has worked with businesses in both rural and urban areas and hopes to be able to bring this experience to her role in local issues.

Her interests include skiing (usually in Austria), hiking and, on a less energetic level, opera and classical music. She has also been involved in a book group.
