I’m a lifelong community builder who advocates for diversity and inclusion. From shaping the regeneration of East London post 2012 Olympics to building resilience in young people as a youth trustee for a charity. I accidentally co-founded a startup called Discoverables.

For the UK Government, I built an internal community of 1,500+ product and delivery managers, built and launched the first Number 10 Innovation fellowship program to get senior talent into government, and built out the is AI community in healthcare in NHSx. I’m now a community manager for Impact VC helping VCs invest in impact. ‘’ve been an angel Investor in startups as part of the Ada Ventures Angels programme to invest in underrepresented talent and now a scout.

I’m a 2017 fellow of the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust and have been awarded a prestigious fellowship exploring Muslim Women in Technology in USA, UAE and Pakistan where I vlogged my travels and brought back my expertise to help businesses.
