As the Careers & Social Mobility Manager at Tower Hamlets Council, I am privileged to lead transformative initiatives aimed at enriching the lives and futures of young people.

With an unwavering commitment to amplifying social and cultural capital, enhancing employment prospects, and fostering diverse career opportunities, I strive to empower individuals to reach their full potential.

Throughout my diverse 40-year career, I`ve navigated corporate environments, charitable organisations, social enterprises, and the public sector. My journey began in the city, working for the London Stock Exchange and Accenture. However, my true calling emerged in 2003 when I ventured into entrepreneurship, successfully establishing, and managing three businesses, including co-founding a social enterprise dedicated to empowering disengaged and disadvantaged youth.

Over the past two decades, my focus has centred on creating meaningful change and providing guidance to those facing obstacles. My own journey, marked by resilience and unique challenges, serves as a testament to the transformative power of perseverance and determination. It is my passion to inspire and mentor others along similar paths, fostering enduring change and empowerment within our communities.
