I am an IT director for a major financial services company.  Before that, I spent over 15 years in technology and management consulting. I have lived and worked in France, Honduras and Kenya, before settling back in the UK.

I grew up in Waltham Forest and benefited from the fantastic education and opportunities offered to me by the state system, which led me to be the first in my family to sit A-levels and go to university. I chose to be a governor because I want to help ensure children in the borough today get the same opportunities I did - or better!

I am eager to see how the school will move forward in the coming years, and feel privileged to be a part of it.
