Talia Lent

Hi, I am Talia. I recently graduated with a degree in Modern and Medieval Languages from the University of Cambridge. I am looking forward to kickstarting my career in Local Government. 

My interest in Local Government and work rooted in community engagement was piqued during my year abroad as part of my degree in Barcelona, where I worked with a charity called Mujeres Pa’lante. Over the year, I supported female Latin-American immigrants with learning English, applying to jobs, and acquiring new skills and perspectives through workshops. It was a transformative experience that showed me the power of community-based support and the importance of creating inclusive, empowering spaces for those who need it most.

Building on that foundation, I’m excited to join Care City for work experience and to broaden my perspective on community collaboration in a UK context. I’m especially eager to engage with innovative, forward-thinking approaches to Adult Social Care.

Fun Fact: I love to experience new cultures and can name all the countries in the world. See picture of me in Sri Lanka below.
