Hi, I am an award-winning computing teacher, author, YouTuber and podcast host. Passionate about Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education, I strive to support students, parents and educators around the world in creative and critical-thinking learning experiences. As Executive Director of Learning and Advancement at the Institute of Imagination, I lead the experience and learning team to empower children to reimagine the future through products, platforms, and community programmes. As well as our strategic partnerships team to work with organisations who share our passion.

Formerly Director of Educator Support, for the Raspberry Pi Foundation, where I led the development of a complete curriculum programme to teach computing to 5 - 16 year olds called the ‘teach computing curriculum’ as well as the creation and facilitation of over 30 online training courses to support teachers with their subject knowledge and pedagogy. I also managed the Foundation’s free publications that support teachers either with Pedagogy through 'Quick Reads' or sharing good practice through a magazine and podcast called 'Hello World'.

Although enacting change in diversity in STEM (particularly computing) has increasingly become part of my professional life, it is something that I have long been working on in my free time. I am currently studying for a master’s degree in STEM education at King’s College London. I'm the host of a Computer Science series on the popular educational YouTube channel Crash Course and I am the creator of a YouTube video series for teenage girls called The Geek Gurl Diaries, which has won a Talk Talk Digital Hero Award.

I am the author of 'Adventures in Raspberry Pi' a computing book for teenagers wanting to get started with Raspberry Pi and programming. Winner of Teach Secondary magazine's Technology & Innovation Best Author award 2014.

I co-founded the Computing At Schools initiative to get more girls and underrepresented groups into computing called CAS #include. As well as a Fellow of the Python Software Foundation. In these roles, I have helped organise workshop-based hack days for adults and children concentrating on delivering good content to include all within the Computing curriculum.

I'm an evangelist for my subject and often speak at conferences. I hope to continue to push diversity in STEM through education and support educators to enjoy teaching computer science.
