I’m a product manager, sociologist, and community organiser from Cambridge, UK.
Work
I started out as a playworker and primary school teacher, then moved into technology education and education technology (’edtech’) in 2012.
I’m currently Head of Product Management at the Raspberry Pi Foundation.
Previously I’ve worked with FutureLearn, the Department for Education, Kings College London, Nord Anglia Schools, and Code Club.
Academic
I’m studying Sociology of Education MA at the Institute of Education, UCL, and my main research interest is childhood in the digital age.
I am particularly interested in how technology for children is created and the relationship between technology and radical ideas for a better world.
My dissertation is about teacher experiences of implementing mobile phone bans in schools.
I have a Sociology BSc from the London School of Economics and a Primary PGCE from Goldsmiths.
Community Organising
I love Cambridge and am constantly looking for ways to work with others to make it an even better place to live.
Right now I am focused on organising a street play event in Petersfield for National Playday on August 7th 2024 🙃.
Music
I’ve been in a few bands, including a metal band called Ex People and an indie-pop band called Internet Forever.
