Relevant Business Interests: BBC Studios Limited - Employee

I work as an in-house lawyer at BBC Studios, specialising in intellectual property law, having worked in private practice in Sydney and London. My work there involves managing a team dealing with social media platforms, and with the potential impact of AI on the creative industries. As a result I am acutely aware of the complexities for young people of navigating social media and fake news with all the wellbeing challenges these pose.

I have lived in Stoke Newington for over 20 years and feel closely tied to the local community. I have a strong commitment to state education and previously chaired the parents and teachers forum at her daughter’s primary school, providing the senior leadership team with an opportunity to communicate with the parent body, and parents the opportunity to raise issues of concern with the SLT. I also have a daughter currently at Stoke Newington School.
