Full Biography

In my capacity as Executive Support to the Senior Leadership Team (SLT), I play a pivotal role in bolstering our Chief Executive and the broader business landscape, which includes the establishment and seamless operation of BDSIP’s business processes.  My primary responsibility is to support the needs of my colleagues, ensuring that our service delivery is of the highest possible standard.

I oversee the day-to-day management of the BDSIP office, handling a wide array of operational matters, including but not limited to Human Resources, Induction, Recruitment, Accommodation, Finance, Problem Solving, Team and Training Events.  With over twenty-five years of experience in the Education Sector, I bring to the table an extensive knowledge base and skill set that is crucial to the business.

I take immense pride in delivering exceptional customer service.  My communication skills, coupled with my ability to identify the root of challenges swiftly and resolve them effectively, are invaluable in my multifaceted role.

Before joining BDSIP, I was employed with the Education Department for the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham.  During this tenure, I established excellent working relationships with numerous schools, headteachers, and various internal and external departments and agencies.

One of my proudest achievements to date is that I was part of the creation of BDSIP, responsible for and playing a key role in setting up the company from the outset.  This was a very unique and positive experience, which taught me a variety of skills that I had never experienced previously.

Born and having lived in the borough previously, I am deeply committed to ensuring that all children and young people have access to the best possible education and opportunities.  Having previously lived in the borough, I am inspired to contribute positively to the community.
