Bio
Anisha Phillips
In dominant discourse competiveness is often seen in a negative light. However, Jess completely altered this understanding for me. She utilizes a competitive drive to work for others, improving social and spatial environments in productive ways. With many years of experience in event planning she has utilized problem solving, time management, and personal connections to develop creative spaces for others. This competitiveness to create the best environment possible is also driven by a desire and passion to create equitable spaces for people of all identities on a local and global scale. Using personal competitiveness, Jess is able to push herself to her best ability with every task and commitment put forward. Utilizing critical thinking she is able to come up with innovative solutions to problems and forward thinking strategies on new projects. Jess is also a strong team member. Motivated by a common goal she uses her competitive drive to collaborate effectively with others. She knows the importance of learning from others, while adding supporting visions to further the common goal. Jess has changed the definition of competiveness for me, and this is truly something we can all learn from.

MPA Candidate: Innovation, Public Policy & Public Value
-
Sep 2022 - Present
Thesis topic: Sports governance & accountability About IIPP: The UCL Institute for Innovation and Public Purpose (IIPP) is changing how public value is imagined, practised and evaluated to tackle societal challenges. Our MPA teaches the dynamic skills required for purpose-driven organisations — in public, private, and civil sectors — to confront the grand challenges of the 21st century. Tackling these challenges requires new ways of thinking and new organisational capabilities. As graduates of the programme, students will be equipped to help reshape organisations to be mission-led, experimental, and driven by public purpose. Students will understand the explorative and risk-taking processes that structural change, innovation, and socioeconomic transformation require.
