“I am really excited about the opportunity I’ve been given to join the Talent Foundry Board. Having both attended and taught at schools in underserved communities I am profoundly aware of the challenges facing these young people and passionate about delivering equal opportunity for all.

"Having already been fortunate enough to meet some of the Talent Foundry staff and partners, I’ve been incredibly impressed by the passion and commitment on display and can’t wait to get stuck in!”
