“Learning has had a profound impact on my life. My mum always told me, ‘The minute you stop learning is the minute you stop living’, and that belief has stayed with me. Growing up, I was lucky to have teachers who took an interest in me, and thanks to them, I was the first person in my family to go to university. That passion for learning led me into teaching, and eventually, to Pearson – where I’ve been for 25 years. Every day, I’m grateful for the opportunity to help change lives through learning.”
