Jane Adamson

Jane Adamson

Education Consultant

As an education consultant, I work with primary and secondary schools across the UK to support teachers in delivering high-quality computing and digital learning. My work centres on building staff confidence and supporting colleagues to apply the curriculum through practical, engaging classroom approaches. I am passionate about creating meaningful learning experiences that help young people see the relevance of technology in the real world. Through professional development, classroom projects, and partnerships between education and industry, I strive to make technology accessible, inclusive, and inspiring for every learner.

I strongly believe in encouraging students to become independent, active learners who can achieve their full potential and thrive in their chosen career paths. By connecting classroom learning to authentic career opportunities and sharing diverse, relatable examples of people working in technology, I aim to broaden aspirations and challenge stereotypes. When pupils begin to understand the possibilities that technology can offer, they feel empowered to imagine and take an active role in shaping a future in which they are part of.

I have worked in the field of Education for 11 years as a Primary school teacher, SEN teacher and teacher /coordinator for the Home Tuition Service in Hackney. I had a break in my career with the arrival of my children and while relocating, but have now joined the team at Tech She Can.

I am passionate about facilitating every child to reach their full potential, through embracing inclusion and diversity in all aspects of both my career and community work. Through my role of planning and delivering Career insight Days at Tech She Can, I hope to continue to inspire young people, especially girls, to believe they are capable of achieving their aspirations.

Tech She Can Teacher

I have worked in primary education in West Yorkshire for 15 years in both teaching and leadership roles, across the primary age range and also with trainee teachers.  In this time, I have gained experience of teaching children from a diverse range of backgrounds, with equal opportunities for all an integral part of my teaching ethos.

I am passionate about motivating children to unlock their potential, especially when it's perhaps an opportunity they have not considered or thought possible. In my role at Tech She Can, I am excited to inspire and equip children with the skills, knowledge and confidence they will need to access the technology jobs of the future.

With experience in a range of different settings across England and Wales, I am motivated to challenge and inspire young people of different backgrounds and abilities to become confident and effective members of future society.

Vicki Doamekpor

Vicki Doamekpor

Education Consultant

I have worked in education for over 20 years, teaching in the UK, The Netherlands and China in roles from secondary school ICT teacher to Head of Primary Computing and Whole School Director of Educational Technology. Through these experiences, I have become incredibly passionate about the power of technology to transform teaching and learning.

From hands on classroom teaching to leading digital strategy, I've seen firsthand how innovative tools, including digital learning platforms and generative AI, can create personalised and engaging experiences for students. I'm excited by the challenge of preparing students for a future we can't yet imagine, and I believe that equipping both students and teachers with the right skills and a sense of curiosity is the best way to do that. It's a privilege to be part of Tech She Can, shaping an educational landscape where every student can thrive.

Vicky Dodds

Vicky Dodds

Education Consultant

I have taught for 23 years as a primary teacher, specialising in and leading computing across schools. In 2017, I founded Computing4Kids, a consultancy dedicated to supporting schools, home-educated children, and local STEM groups to strengthen computing provision and inspire a love of technology. In 2019, I joined the National Centre for Computing Education (NCCE) as a Primary Hub Lead and Education Specialist, supporting schools across the North East and Cumbria to develop subject knowledge and expertise within trusts, MATs, and academies. In this role, I developed training resources for the NCCE programme and delivered high-quality training and professional development across schools, supporting the implementation of computing curricula and long-term subject improvement. I have also helped create teaching resources for Barefoot Computing, Oak National Academy, and the charity Technology Books for Children.
I am passionate about providing opportunities for all children to enjoy computing and to develop their knowledge and confidence, recognising the wide range of skills it builds, alongside the enjoyment and value of working collaboratively.

Suzanne Dorran

Suzanne Dorran

Education Consultant

I have over 17 years of experience in primary education, working as a Class Teacher, Inclusion Manager, SENCo, Assistant Headteacher and Deputy Headteacher. Throughout my career, I’ve been committed to supporting children’s learning, fostering inclusion, and leading professional development for colleagues.

In my role at Tech She Can, I’m passionate about inspiring young people to explore technology and recognise how their interests can translate into future careers that don’t yet exist. As a parent, I’m committed to widening aspirations, challenging gender imbalance, and helping children see themselves as creators, innovators, and problem-solvers - because early inspiration is essential to building a more diverse and equitable tech industry.

Sarah Flanagan

Sarah Flanagan

Tech She Can Teacher

I have over 14 years of primary teaching experience and have worked as a class teacher, inclusion manager and deputy head during my career.

It is very apparent that our world is ever changing and most of the jobs that our younger generation will do as adults don’t even exist yet! The future of technology will be shaped by our children and I am so excited to have the opportunity to use my role at Tech she Can to equip and inspire young people to learn more about technology.

My own experience of career advice lacked ambition and clarity so I am very passionate about making pupils aware of the amazing opportunities that are out there. Motivating our future generation to have the confidence to pursue a tech based career is my ultimate goal and I feel privileged to be able to use my role at Tech She Can to give young children an insight into how they can use their interests and hobbies in their future careers.

Zoe Hobman

Zoe Hobman

Tech She Can Teacher

I have worked in education for 11 years in different primary school settings and I have also worked as a specialist music teacher. I have always been passionate about giving children every opportunity they can to develop as individuals and, in my role at Tech She Can, I hope to inspire the next generation in technology. I believe that an early careers education is so beneficial and I am particularly excited to show children how they can use their talents and hobbies in their future careers in technology.

Robyn Howard

Robyn Howard

Chief Operating Officer

I joined Tech She Can from PwC (one of our founding members) in which my experience covered Student Recruitment, Employer Branding, Tech Marketing and working alongside Sheridan Ash to inform our Women in Tech strategy and engagement.

I worked on the initial 'Time to close the gender gap' research in 2017, which helped to inform the creation of Tech She Can and have been involved since its inception. I helped to create Tech She Can as its own separate charity and am currently seconded to the charity to lead its operations. I work with our Strategic Partners, help direct the work we do as part of our charity and look after all of our operational needs.

As a parent, I’m extremely passionate about the future of the world our children are being born into. I’m passionate about the gender imbalance we're trying to solve with the lack of women in technology and, for me, it all comes down to tackling the education our children receive.

Pam Jones

Pam Jones

Education Consultant

I have over 16 years’ experience as a Secondary Computing teacher, Head of Department, Head of Year and industry freelance EdTech curriculum designer and developer for primary, secondary and post 16 materials. 

I am passionate about how technology is enhancing the way we access education and the future world of work. Inspiring young minds to engage with technology in a meaningful and impactful way can support their awareness and enthusiasm for pursuing or considering a career involving technology. It is important that we acknowledge and challenge stereotypes to allow all to feel confident and comfortable in a technology workspace and Tech She Can is a charity that aligns with this completely. 

Elizabeth Kanter

Elizabeth Kanter

Government Affairs Lead

I first got involved with Tech She Can about a year ago when a friend knew that my passion for tech and lifting up the next generation aligns perfectly with Tech She Can’s vision. 

I am the Head of Public Policy for Tech She Can drawing on my 20+ years experience working in government relations and public policy in the tech industry and most recently, TikTok where I worked for 4 years. TikTok allowed me to understand first-hand the threats and opportunities tech creates for young people in particular. 

This experience and my role as a mum of two teenagers has really driven my passion to help shape the public policy environment so that it aligns with Tech She Can’s goals. I genuinely believe that “together, we can change the ratio” of girls embracing exciting careers in STEM.  While not the only actor shaping this space, governments have incredible power to reshape our education systems to put programmes in place from the earliest years to give children the skills they will need to succeed in life and work.

I am proud to be involved with Tech She Can, and look forward to continuing to promote the Tech She Can Manifesto and advocating for the change needed to support our children now and in the future.

Katie King

Katie King

Education Consultant

I'm an enthusiastic scientist with a passion for bringing the world of STEM alive for children. As our world becomes more heavily tech dependent, I believe it's our responsibility to prepare the youngest generation for the future that awaits them.

I first came across Tech She Can while at the Royal International Air Tattoo in 2018. I was undertaking a PhD in Nanotechnology at the time, and had seen the difference in enthusiasm between boys and girls towards technical subjects while working as a secondary school maths and physics teacher. I asked about how I could help Tech She Can achieve their mission and was welcomed in by the team. Since 2018, I've been part of panel discussions, interviewed 30+ industry role models for our lesson packages, co-presented Tech We Can online lessons with Becky Patel and, most recently, voiced Katie in our ‘Katie and Tex’ animation series.

Having recently completed my PhD, I'll be continuing my work with the Tech She Can team and can’t wait to see what we can achieve in the coming years! 

Rachael Lilley

Educational Partnerships and Experiences Lead

I have worked in the field of education for 17 years as the Deputy Director of an Initial Teacher Training centre, Assistant Headteacher for Inclusion and as a teacher in a Primary School. These roles have given me a wealth of knowledge and experience within Education, the Special Educational Needs sector and Initial Teacher Training.

I am passionate about inclusion and diversity within education at all levels from primary school through to postgraduate education. I strive to inspire all children to reach their full potential and career aspirations. In my role at Tech She Can, I am excited to use my knowledge and skills to plan and deliver Career Insight days in collaboration with schools and Tech She Can strategic partners.

Mark Lloyd

Mark Lloyd

Education Consultant

I have over 30 years’ experience in education as a primary teacher, ICT lead, local authority adviser and, more recently, as director of an education consultancy specialising in technology and AI. My work focuses on helping schools make purposeful use of digital tools – from computing and online safety through to generative AI – so that they improve learning, while reducing teacher workload.

I am passionate about how technology, used well, can open up creativity, improve inclusion and give young people a more authentic audience for their work. Supporting teachers and leaders to feel confident with AI and computing is central to that, particularly as these skills shape the future world of work. It is vital that we challenge stereotypes around who “belongs” in tech and ensure all students can see themselves in future digital roles, and the mission of Tech She Can aligns closely with these values.

Throughout my career I have held various roles including lecturer, classroom teacher, Head of Department and more recently a senior leader as Head of Digital Technologies and Lead CEIAG.

Education Consultant

I support the delivery of engaging and inclusive learning experiences that help young people explore the world of technology and the opportunities it can offer.

Before joining Tech She Can, I spent 14 years as a primary school teacher and computing lead in both Australia and the UK. That experience gave me a deep understanding of how to spark curiosity in the classroom and help children build confidence with digital tools.

As someone who has often been one of the few women in the room at tech events, and now as a mum myself, I’m passionate about shaping education so that all children, particularly girls and those from underrepresented backgrounds, feel equipped and empowered to pursue a future in tech.

Poppy Patel

Curriculum and Resources Lead

I’ve worked in primary schools for over 13 years and, in that time, I’ve taught in a variety of schools of different sizes and in different areas. Alongside working as a part-time class teacher, I started working with the Tech She Can team in March 2022, supporting the creation and delivery of our Tech We Can educational resources. 

I believe that early careers education is really important for our children, and that the Tech We Can resources are invaluable in showing them how their passions can link to future jobs in technology. It’s really important that we all work together to ensure that children are aware of the variety of technology careers out there, and to help to prepare the next generation for the future.

Becky Patel

Becky Patel

Head of Education and Learning

I have over 10 years teaching experience at both a primary and secondary school level. I’ve had the pleasure of working with the Tech She Can team since 2019 and I lead on the creation and delivery of our Tech We Can educational resources. 

I’m extremely proud of how far the Tech We Can resources we offer to teachers, parents and students has grown over the past few years. I’m passionate about ensuring all children and young people broaden their knowledge of the opportunities available to them in technology careers. Children can't aspire to be what they don't know exists, and this is where Tech We Can plays such an important role.

Millie Stacey

Millie Stacey

Head of Fundraising

I joined Tech She Can having spent my career working for big, household name charities and organisations including Cancer Research UK, Marie Curie and the NHS. I am passionate about supporting people and organisations to have a genuine impact with their donations and partnerships, and am so proud that Tech She Can's agile, innovative and efficient approach enables me to facilitate that. We pride ourselves on our ability to carefully create partnerships that bring together our charitable goals, award winning team and interventions with the business goals of the organisations we partner with. Witnessing the real-world impact of this is the best part of this role. 

I have a degree in Education from the University of Cambridge, and while I'm not an expert like my incredible colleagues in the Tech She Can Education team, I am fascinated about the different ways in which we educate and equip children for their futures, and the kind of society that will be built as a direct result of this. My own children's enthusiasm for Tech She Can's resources brings me much joy, and provides a personal barometer that we're doing something right with what we create!

Marketing & Communications Lead (Events)

With over 20 years of experience in marketing and communications, I've honed my skills as a seasoned professional in the field. Growing up in Sweden, where gender equality is deeply ingrained, I've been passionate about this cause since childhood.

Having lived in multiple countries, I've witnessed the stark disparities between genders worldwide which has fueled my determination to be part of the solution. I'm thrilled to join Tech She Can's mission to close the gender gap in technology.

As a Chartered Accountant with over 12 years experience across a range of finance roles including audit at PwC and in commercial finance for a listed FMCG company, I bring a wealth of experience to my position as Finance Lead for Tech She Can. I thrive on problem solving, process improvement and financial planning with a commercial lens. I am driven to support the team to achieve sustainable growth for Tech She Can.

Our Trustees

Priya Guha MBE

Priya Guha MBE

Throughout my career, I have always cared passionately about the importance of inclusion. Not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because it’s the only way we’ll design the products, make good decisions and flourish as a society in a way that benefits us all. Resolving this for the long-term requires having more women involved in technology and more girls recognising technology is a career for them. It will take many players to overcome the societal barriers to get there but I believe Tech She Can can play a key role in achieving this goal and I’m honoured to support them as a Trustee.

I'm a Venture Partner at Merian Ventures, investing in women-led innovation, an Advisor to Kheiron Medical Technologies (a UK start up using deep learning to transform cancer diagnostics), a NED at UK Research & Innovation, the Digital Catapult & GB Badminton and Adjunct Faculty at the Ashridge Hult Business School. I was previously GM for RocketSpace, launching their UK operations. I used to be a career diplomat, most recently as British Consul General to San Francisco and previously in India and Spain. 

I sit on the Royal Academy of Engineering International Committee, Althea Foundation Board, Tech London Advocates and Global Tech Advocates Advisory Boards. I also am an Advisor to The Youth Group. I was awarded an MBE in 2021 for services to international trade and women in innovation.

Together we can change the ratio
