I am a lawyer turned software engineer currently living in Manchester, United Kingdom.

Outside of my work, I am passionate about teaching coding and using digital skills education as a platform for social mobility for those individuals who are most disadvantaged by society and those minorities and communities who are currently under-served by and underrepresented in the technology industry. I work with and alongside a number of organisations including CodeFirst:Girls, Codebar, CodeYourFuture and Code4000 to promote and encourage a more diverse and inclusive tech workforce.

I am one of the co-creators of Women Who Keynote, a platform designed for women* to promote themselves for speaking opportunities.

The mission behind Women Who Keynote is to contribute to the elimination of all-male panels and help improve the visibility of women in male-dominated industries.
