She has also been a news editor at IBT UK, a senior reporter and editor for Incisive Media covering energy risk, and a producer at CNBC.
Lianna has a master’s in contemporary war and peace studies from the University of Sussex, and a bachelor’s in English and American literature from the University of Kent. She’s a roller-derby player and coach, and plays multiple musical instruments. You can follow her @LiannaBrinded.
