Lalla Merlin

About

I am an aspiring solicitor, making a transition from a career in journalism and filmmaking. l read English Language and Literature at Oxford University, then Law with The Open University, and have worked in the global leisure and culture space for over a decade, interviewing international clients who are the directors and CEOs of major museums, attractions, and conservation institutions. This has fostered my interest in thought leadership, how companies operate, reflect emerging trends, and effect meaningful change. Competent in all areas of writing, I am also skilled in film production, specialising in corporate video and book trailers for authors, and creating short films for festivals. As a career changer, I bring a range of skills, including insights gleaned from interviewing leaders across the cultural, leisure, and conservation sectors; a capacity to write compelling copy for a range of audiences; a toolkit of horizon-scanning and creative problem-solving strategies, and an endless curiosity about people and the interests that drive them.
