"I’m delighted to join the Yorkshire Learning Providers Board and support its mission to champion collaboration, quality, and innovation across the skills sector. My own journey, from vocational learner and tutor to governor and degree apprentice, has shown me the transformative impact of technical and vocational education. I’m passionate about ensuring today’s learners have the same opportunities to develop their skills, achieve their ambitions, and progress into rewarding careers. I look forward to working with partners across Yorkshire to strengthen our skills system and widen opportunities for learners and employers alike."
