Hi, I'm Laura 👋

Career

I've spent over 20 years working in education - as a playworker, primary school teacher, and leader of edtech organisations.

I built Code Club from a small volunteer network into a national movement, led product at FutureLearn, and am now interim CTPO at the Raspberry Pi Foundation,where we're making computer science and AI accessible to young people everywhere.

Education

I hold an MA in Sociology of Education (Distinction) from the Institute of Education, UCL; a BSc in Sociology from the London School of Economics; and a Primary PGCE from Goldsmiths.

Extracurricular

In my spare time, I run a Code Club and am a parent governor at my daughter's school.

I've been in a few bands, including a metal band called Ex People and an indie-pop band called Internet Forever. I also used to organise shows and run a small DIY record label.

I like to read and lift weights at the gym.
