education can be used to challenge prejudice. As a consultant her work involves
developing educational opportunities that allow people to understand and unpack
their own assumptions and actions. Recently, she headed up the UWS Equity and

bullying prevention using a range of platforms including workshops social media
and art–based events like film festivals. She comes to the area of education having
