| Industry | Non-Profit |
| Location | London |
| Introduction | I am a teacher, writer, union representative and activist (as much as possible)! Brought over on the boat from Dublin as a small child I grew up in south London, which is still my home today. |
| Interests | I am interested in all aspects of equality, particularly creating greater educational equality - it saddens me that the biggest determining factor of educational success is the social class of their parents. Since working on a Project in the Refugee Camps in Labanon I am hugely interested in the Palestinian cause and the Palestinian Refugees in Lebanon in particular. |
| Favorite movies | Lord of War, The Committments, Slumdog Millionnaire, Everything is Illumiated, The Pianist. |
| Favorite music | The Frames, Nizlopi, Bob Marley, anything from 2001 - 2006 (after which I left uni and the music I listened to was re-labelled 'old school'). |
| Favorite books | Maps for Lost Lovers (Nadeem Aslam), A Little Piece of Ground (Elizabeth Laird), A Vicious Circle (Amanda Craig), Brixton beach (Roma Tearne), From Caucasia with Love (Danzy Senna), White Woman on a Green Bicycle (Monique Roffey). |
