United To Achieve Social Mobility

Meet the team

With Insight Education aims to create an educational and professional landscape where the representation of black-heritage students is truly reflective of the potential available.

  • Decades after her own university choice was coloured by her fears of fitting in, Christine was disheartened to discover that such concerns still hinder black-heritage students from attending top universities.

    Christine is a TeachFirst Ambassador and sits on several other diversity and education boards including Causeway Education and the AccessHE Race Equity forum.

    In 2020, Christine was awarded the Warrior Women ChangeMaker award and was recently recognised as one of the WISE100 top female social entrepreneurs in the UK.

  • Ayesha is passionate about social impact, sustainability and building meaningful cross-sector partnerships that create opportunity for young people.

    She is responsible for the design and delivery of social mobility programmes supporting the charity's mission to enable young people aged 16-24 to progress into higher education and paid work experience across the UK.

    Ayesha brings experience across innovation, product development and commercialisation from her work in consulting, alongside tech startup and not-for-profit experience in geoscience, climate tech and education. She holds an MSc in Sustainability from the University of London and a Sloan MSc from London Business School.

  • Andrea has a Master's degree in Digital Culture and Society from King's College London and has years of experience developing campaigns across multiple platforms. Her work as a university lecturer on the outskirts of Peru's capital exposed her to the transformative power and societal impact of education, particularly for those who have limited access to it. Andrea believes that access to education is a privilege that everyone should have and she advocates for its expansion across the entire spectrum of society.

  • Tiersha is a freelance Programme Officer with over 10 years of experience delivering programmes that support young people to overcome barriers and reach their potential. She has worked across charities, local authorities and education settings, with a strong focus on social mobility and inclusion.

    She brings expertise in programme delivery, mentoring and partnership working, and is passionate about creating opportunities that are accessible, meaningful and impactful for underrepresented communities.

Meet our Ambassadors

We actively collaborate with a group of talented black-heritage ambassadors, amplifying their voices and gaining invaluable access to their fresh, current experiences and outlooks.

  • Kacey is currently a psychology undergraduate at The University of Manchester. As a student who previously took part in the Insight2Uni mentorship programme, she has uncovered a true passion for dismantling barriers in the education system for marginalised members of society. As she understands how invaluable it is to encourage students from these backgrounds to see how they are worthy enough to become a part of their dream institutions.
