"I was invited to join the panel after I offered my skills as a user experience designer to help Sanctuary appraise a possible mobile app. My background is in engineering, graphic design and user experience and I’m a huge champion of accessibility and user-centred design.
“In my spare time I volunteer as a civilian instructor for the Royal Air Force Air Cadets where I am a Duke of Edinburgh Award leader working with youths from 13 – 18 years of age. I also like to explore my local countryside with my family and dogs, and have a passion for video games, photography and music."
