About me
Recently launched the Social Enterprise Loop Studios, that connects young deaf talent to the creative industries. Currently a Fellow on Year Here, a Social Innovation programme that prepares professionals to test and build smart responses to inequality in London. I'm also in the process of completing my Level 3 qualification in British Sign Language. My previous experience includes working in Mainstream schools supporting Deaf young people. I have a breadth of voluntary experience including work in a Deaf school in Sri Lanka and independent research within the Deaf community in Ghana. Furthermore, I have worked as a Talent Assistant at a global VFX Agency. Outside of building a Social Business I enjoy travelling, collecting elephant ornaments and trying my hand at the occasional extreme sport.
