Freya Millard

Freya joined the LGIU in July 2021 as a content assistant and has since worked her way up to senior management. Her previous life was as a journalist for national and local publishers, and she has extensive experience producing content and marketing materials for websites, newspapers and magazines, while also launching and running her own passion projects in the form of podcasts, multimedia and websites. 

At the University of Southampton, she earned her undergraduate degree in English and a Master’s in International Politics, while also at the helm as editor of one of the oldest student publications in the UK. Under her leadership, the team gained regional and national recognition for breaking local stories and championing important causes, particularly around gendered violence and rights.   

Her key areas of interest span all inequality and social issues, and she has a lifelong passion for environmental causes, having grown up in the countryside and now spending most of her free time roaming with her border collie, Ferguson.
