Throughout my career, my roles have included serving as the inaugural Chair at Jacaranda Books, an award-winning independent publisher, having previously been the Finance Officer. I initiated-in-earnest the multi-agency local authority strategy, ‘Improving Outcomes for Young Black Men’ in the London Borough of Hackney and through this work became a founding trustee of an award-winning education charity, Class 13.  

I am a qualified LuminaSpark Practitioner and alum of the Newton Venture Program. I have delivered tailored leadership training sessions and served as an advisor or project lead for various non-profit organisations, including Barnardo’s, Social Finance and Young Brent Foundation. I have been invited to participate in working groups at US Embassy London and the House of Lords. I was invited to speak at the Local Government Association and African Caribbean Education Network conferences and invited to contribute to the ‘Furloughed under-30’ report undertaken during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. I was formerly a Business Manager at Wayra UK (Telefonica UK’s startup accelerator).
