I graduated with a BSc in Business and Management from the University of Sussex, achieving an upper second-class degree, with a first-class research project focused on social mobility for first-generation students in higher education and early careers. My career journey has involved roles at Citi Bank, the Civil Service, and Spencer Stuart, where I gained a wide range of skills and industry experience. After university, I joined the Civil Service Fast Stream, where I developed key leadership and policy skills. I later transitioned into community-focused role within the sports industry. My focus at adidas is to continue building impactful community partnerships and expanding initiatives that uplift and support grassroots talent. Sports in my opinion, can be a catalyst for change in young people, and working in the industry, I get to see a lot of amazing initiatives that help uplift young people. Beyond my current role, I hope to continue shaping opportunities that promote diversity and innovation in both business and education.

After leaving Harris, I went on to study History at the University of Oxford. The support and guidance I received at Harris played a huge role in that journey. Since then, I’ve worked in education and technology, and I’m now a Project Coordinator at TeachAI, exploring how AI can improve learning. I also teach global education development at Harvard University, which has been an incredible experience. Right now, I’m focused on working at the intersection of education, socio-economic development, and public policy. I’m driven by my ongoing work running fellowship tutorials at Harvard, and I’m equally eager to explore how technology can drive meaningful, lasting change in education globally with TeachAI.

"I joined the academy in 2012, arriving with limited skills in speaking and writing English. It was a tough transition- I had to get used to a whole new language and education system at the same time. But I was lucky to have amazing support from both the EAL (English as an Additional Language) team, who helped me immensely with my language skills, and the Performing Arts department, who helped me grow in confidence as a pianist and performer. They were so patient and kind, and they helped me so much. I’ll always be grateful for them. Those early experiences taught me a lot about resilience and perseverance. Over time, I started building my confidence and eventually found my stride with my studies."

After completing my GCSEs and sixth form at Harris Academy Greenwich, I went on to study Spanish, Portuguese, and Latin American Studies at the University of Manchester. I really enjoyed being able to learn more about languages and different cultures, which has always been something I’ve been passionate about. After that, I decided to do a Master's in Human Rights and Legal Practice, which was challenging but really rewarding. Now I’m back in the school environment, working as an English as an Additional Language (EAL) teaching assistant at Harris Academy Peckham. It’s hugely fulfilling to help students who are going through what I went through when I first arrived- I understand how tough it can be, and I love being able to support them the way my teachers supported me.
