Chair

I have lived in Sheffield since 2010 when I started studying at the University of Sheffield. After graduating in 2014, I started work at Sheffield City Council. I have worked in a number of roles in the City Council across communications, public health, children’s mental health (jointly with Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group) and special educational needs. I currently work as Strategic Commissioning Manager for Special Educational Needs and Disabilities at Sheffield City Council, a role I have been in since July 2019. I became a trustee in the summer of 2019 and work with other trustees and the team to help set the strategic direction of SYEDA.
