Linlithgow, West Lothian, Scotland

In July 2022 I became Membership and Engagement Officer for Development Trust Association Scotland (DTAS) supporting communities on their journey towards setting up development trusts, developing resources and communications for DTAS members, and creating opportunities for  learning and networking. My career began in Housing and Community Regeneration, including research and analytical services at a national level. I then worked for 8 years at Includem, a Scottish children and young person's charity, on their evaluation and communications.  Then, when my kids were little, I spent 6 years working locally as a part time Development Worker for Linlithgow Community Development Trust, progressing their flagship partnership project, The West  Lothian Cycle Circuit, with West Lothian Council. My spare time has involved being a volunteer and Trustee of Transition Linlithgow (a local grassroots climate action charity), a local bus campaigner, a Community Councillor and an occasional celllist. In the May 2022 Local Elections I stood as the Scottish Greens candidate for Linlithgow, in West Lothian.

My name is Carson Rayhill, a second-year graduate student at the Walsh School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University in Washington, DC. I graduated from Xavier University in 2022 with a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration (Finance) and a Bachelor of Arts (German) with minors in Political Economy and Peace Studies. In 2016, I was awarded the Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange Scholarship through the U.S. Department of State. Since then, I have developed economic and financial analysis and leadership skills, working as a Political/Economic intern at the U.S. Embassy to the Holy See, a Contract Specialist with the U.S. Department of Energy, as well as various economics/finance positions with non-profits and the private sector. I hope to use these experiences and combine them with the ones I am currently gaining as a Junior Research Assistant at the World Bank (Social Protections and Labor) to promote a global, integral economic development, all founded on a strong ethical foundation.
