Creator of 21CC, the BBC's digital classroom for teachers and children, originator and project executive on BBC Blast, a cross-platform creative arts project for 13-19 year olds and the strategic and operational mind behind raw, the BBC's most successful literacy campaign for adults.

She has a strong track record of bringing together public and private partnerships (and making them work) in the area of race equality and at the BBC, with substantial experience of working in a European context.
