Career
Bertin was educated at Croydon High School and Southampton University.[2]
She worked for Cameron during his time as shadow education secretary, and for Liam Fox as press secretary.[3] In 2005, Bertin became deputy press officer for Cameron.[3]
In 2003–04, she was paid £25,000 by Pfizer to work as a researcher for The Atlantic Bridge, a now-closed charity run by Fox, while he was shadow health secretary.[4] She was the sole employee of the charity, and worked with Adam Werritty, the executive director, but according to Fox, she did not work in any health role.[4][5]
By August 2013, it had been announced that she would be switched to director of external relations, with Graeme Wilson of The Sun taking up her old role.[6]
She was nominated for a life peerage as part of David Cameron's Resignation Honours list and was created Baroness Bertin, of Battersea in the London Borough of Wandsworth, on 2 September 2016.[7][8] She was the youngest member of the House of Lords until the induction of Baroness Blackwood of North Oxford in February 2019.[9]
In 2023, she was commissioned by the Government to lead an independent review into the regulation of online pornography; the concluding report was published in early 2025.[10][11]
