I am passionate about: My children. Education. Life. Finding answers to my questions - I can be quite dogged about that.

A little known fact about me is: I think everyone who knows me knows everything about me!

"If exactly what you want doesn't exist, make it."

I've been a teacher and teacher trainer for the past 17 years. Before that I worked in lots of different roles, bi-lingual legal secretary, waitress, IT recruitment consultant. I'm not afraid of change. In fact it's something I relish. I have 2 children and love nothing more than spending time with them. I am passionate about education and how it has the capacity to transform lives. I also like playing tennis, yoga, reading, learning new things that I find difficult and sleeping. I really love sleeping!

Hi Waliullah, I really love this innovation. We have volunteers to offer no-tech, low-tech and hi-tech education to people who are not in school. Your product would be perfect for some of our teachers. I'd really like to talk with you about collaborating. If we trained our educators in using your product, we could take it out with our pop-up classrooms.

Hello Rebecca. Thank you so much for taking the time to look at our initiative. I'm aware of the amazing work that TWB does. We'd absolutely love to have a conversation with you about working together to see how we can support more educational projects in more countries. One of the things we would like to do with the support from the IDEO community is to translate our training into local languages and mother tongue languages so that each country can offer Crisis Classroom training for local volunteer / refugee educators in their own context using volunteers with local expertise. I'm a newbie to the IDEO platform. How do we take the next step? Kindest regards, Kate.
