	Charlotte Morgan Charlotte Morgan is currently studying her BA in Law and Social Anthropology at the University of London, but enjoys freelancing in her spare time. Having grown up in Belgium and attended the European School of Brussels II, she was immersed in multicultural societies and communities and began to take a serious interest in how to help the world around her. An early love of creative writing and global awareness had indicated her pursuit in the field of journalism, but it wasn’t until fulfilling an internship at OWW Consulting Sdn. Bhd. in Malaysia that she took up the challenge of writing her first article. Inspired by the positive feedback, Charlotte resolved to continue writing and to pursue a career in journalism, a sector which she believes will be enhanced by her future knowledge of legal processes and human conditions.
