After studying and working in music, movies, and video games, I found my way to computers as a "Software Product Owner." I can tell engaging stories about using school to "learn how to learn" as a path to success in the fast-changing employment market. I also work to promote inclusion and diversity in the workplace.

Event description
Business Ambassadors
The event is during a PSHE lesson
PSHE is the part of the curriculum covering areas such as careers education,
relationships and other aspects of being a good citizen. The lesson you are part
of is related to the careers programme.
During the lesson you will have 10-15 minutes to speak to the class about your
job. Areas you might want to cover include the qualifications you gained, your
career path and the highlights of your role. This is only a guide and Business
Ambassadors interpret this successfully in a variety of ways. If you want to
accompany your presentation with a Powerpoint on a USB this is okay, but not
expected. After your presentation there will be an opportunity for the students
to ask questions before the form teacher leads the remainder of the lesson. This
is a series of activities which students work through in groups. During this you will
be able to help, giving students a chance to speak further with you. This can be
arranged ‘face to face’ or online.
