 Rachael   Ivancic

Rachael Ivancic joined Partnership for Young London as Communications Officer in June 2009. Originally from Glasgow, although her surname suggests otherwise, she has a degree in Art and Design. Up until now she has been using her creative skills in the voluntary sector, in projects across the capital involving young people in music, costume and carnival. Rachael continues to work in the fringe theatre scene with various organisations alongside young people and creatives. She has worked previously in an international membership organisation within the legal publishing sector and hopes her organisational and editorial background will stand her in good stead in a communications position within Partnership for Young London.
