I oversee the strategic direction of Spiral Skills, leading and managing our programmes, partnerships and team to ensure we deliver high-quality, safe and impactful work for young people across London. Alongside this, I work closely with schools, employers and community partners, secure funding to grow our reach and long-term impact, and act as Co-Designated Safeguarding Lead for Spiral Skills.

My journey into youth work began through football coaching in my local community, followed by roles in education and outreach. As a South Londoner, supporting young people most at risk of exclusion to realise their potential is a core driver of my work. Outside of Spiral Skills, football plays a big role in my life and I’m a lifelong Arsenal fan.
