Michele

Senior Education Professional specialising in social justice, inclusion and engagement.

I currently work at a London university supporting young people from under represented groups to access higher education. Prior to this I managed the Arts Curriculum for adults for a London council and prior to that I managed the education service for a NGO. Education transformed my own life and I am passionate about disrupting institutions and systems to ensure all young people have access to learning to support their dreams and ambitions.

AEE is a specialist organisation with young people at the centre. It seeks new ways to develop and nurture young people's creative interests in a safe space that gives them support and freedom to express and grow. I work for a big institution and I want to share my skills but also learn myself in a new space by working with others to connect and engage with community.

My interests include current affairs, walking around Margate with my dog, spirituality, especially the teaching of Eckhart Tolle.
