I'm Westminster's Director of Student Enterprise and founder of the Westminster Enterprise Network which supports students to become self-employed, start businesses and pursue entrepreneurial careers.

Previously, I worked for the BBC as Head of Development for Documentary and Specialist Factual, and directed and produced drama, documentary, current affairs, news, arts and entertainment programmes.
