Inspired by my father, my career began in engineering; and culminated at the British Broadcasting Corporation, BBC as an electronics design engineer.
After being headhunted, I transitioned to human resources, HR where I discovered my passion for equality and inclusion. I have held key roles in recruitment, learning and development, and policy across the BBC, OFCOM, Defra, and the Ministry of Justice, MoJ. As a committed advocate for racial equity, I have chaired several Civil Service race networks and led initiatives for inclusive workplaces. Outside of work, I served as a school governor, football coach, and as a trained magistrate.
