Inspired by Bishankar K Sarkar. Assisting the BATAYON Pathagar in Bangladesh as an honorary Strategic Advisor. The purpose is to identify how a sustainable, scalable, library university with online access can be replicated across Bangladesh. Principles of collaborative affordable learning within the community could benefit students across the world. Seeking capital investment for a more rapid growth.

Eighteen months in the Enhanced Employability and Career Progression team, which excited my wish to enable more students to gain their own success.

Keen on ensuring social justice, quietly raising issues at all levels in a variety of organisations, surfacing potential bias or discrimination. Achieving the Postgraduate Diploma in Systems Thinking for Change Management.
