Alina Manaila is 27 years old. Born in Romania and raised in the south of Spain (Almeria) Alina moved to the UK after turning 19. Living down south (London) for few months then moving to Leeds, Alina has been here ever since.

Alina started working as a care assistant when she arrived in the UK and has worked her way up through the sector from there. She is currently working as a Registered Estate Manager, for a retirement living development.

Alina enjoys helping people maintain their independence and live their best retirement life. She has always been an advocate for others, since being little Alina’s mum always thought she would end up being a lawyer, because, her mother says, she defends everyone.

About the Podcast

Working Hours
The Story of Work in Leeds in the 2020s
What do you do?
Western Studios, Leeds presents Working Hours: a podcast series surveying the people of Leeds on their thoughts and feelings on the topic of work. I want to talk to my city about work. Why do we do it? Do we like it? What could we do differently? What will we? How does work change and how does it change us?
Leeds, the largest city in the largest county on the UK mainland, is a former imperial textile centre and is now a major UK financial centre. This series will document the city’s experiences through Lockdown, Brexit, creeping technological unemployment, new and continuing resource wars, the ongoing dismantling of the welfare state and our accelerating ecological emergency.
If you are in Leeds or from Leeds then help me to reach my target of interviewing 1000 Loiners over the 2020s. Let me ask you, what do you do?
