Claudia Donovan (born April 30th, 1988) is the 19th and current Minister of Science and Engineering of the United Kingdom of Malgrave
Early life and career
Claudia Donovan was born in Epping on the 21st of May 1988, the second child of Harald Donovan, a professor of mechanical engineering at the Engineering Academy in Epping and Rachel Donovan, a local councillor (later MP). At the age of 9 Donovan was selected by her local school board to be transferred to Leiden Academy ahead of schedule. In 2002 Claudia enrolled as an undergraduate at the Neils Bohr Academy in Epping. Her major was Electrical Engineering and after leaving the Academy she was quickly snapped up by MalTec who put her to work in their R&D division.
MalTec
At first Claudia was just a small part of a wider-research team focused on developing viable technology for the consumer division of MalTec, with her groups primary focus on being developing advancements for the next generation of consumer mobile handset. Claudia quickly gained a reputation for being a skilled problem solver and incredibly hard worker, attributes that meant she was quickly tossed around the company in order to solve issues ran into by differing R&D projects inside MalTec. After solving these issues Claudia was rapidly promoted and soon came to head her own research team developing what would eventually become known as the MalTec Ascension, however her rapid promotion within the company and the embarrassment caused by having an "outsider" fix problems soon meant that she found herself resented within the company. In 2009 she resigned from MalTec and accepted an offer from the PUP to become the parties official scientific advisor.
Minister of Science and Engineering
Although Claudia was widely respected in the scientific community it was still regarded as a mistake by Rachel Berry to choose such an inexperienced politician to lead one of the most important Ministries in government and many in the media establishment predicated that she would crash and burn in months and might be the cause of the governments demise. Claudia bucked expectations by passing several popular reforms including the expansion of the research colony and the re-introduction of independent accountants to audit troublesome accounts for fraud and corruption.
