Biography

I have worked as an Education Outreach Officer for the University of Essex for 5 years, working across key stages 2-5. Having worked within Widening Participation for the majority of my career; I have had specific roles with Black and Minority Ethnic groups and have worked as a STEM coordinator. I have also worked at grassroots level with inner city youths as a Community Development Officer. I have a great passion for working with under-represented groups and particularly enjoy engaging with young people to help them make informed decisions about their future and in particular, Higher Education.
