I am an ACAS trained mediator, a mother of adult twin daughters who have benefited from the education system up to Masters level.

I will bring a wealth of experience acquired from my professional career over the years including my role as Research & Development Manager in the NHS.

I believe the skills that I have developed over the years in my professional career can be put to good use and help improve the lives of the local children in the community.

Education is very dear to me, the right level of education surpasses achieving a good grade or getting access to study in renowned universities, or achieving your dream job. Education shapes a person’s outlook about life and plays a vital role in creating lucrative members of the society. Therefore it is incumbent on school authorities to ensure that the right strategy and policies are designed for our future leaders. As a young trainee accountant in my local council –Hackney, I feel a sense of responsibility to use my modest expertise to contribute to the lives of young people by helping to address topics surrounding educational inequality and social mobility. As the only young black man in my team, there’s a notable lack of diversity. I would like to use my career and background to inspire and serve as a role model to the students, something I didn’t get it growing up but believe is very crucial to have. In return, this will help me stay informed about the changing policies and strategies and build my knowledge in the educational sector and also network with like-minded people.
