Schools and Colleges Engagement Officer
Huma is a Schools and Colleges Engagement Officer in the Education team.
Prior to Nesta, Huma worked as a teacher in several inner London schools. She has a passion for education and ensuring that all children have the opportunity to unlock their potential. She has a particular interest in behaviour management, and the social barriers to learning.
Global in her outlook, Huma graduated with a BA in International Relations from Queen Mary, University of London. She spent some time working in America with children before pursuing a PGCE.
In her spare time Huma can be found recreating recipes from her travels, exploring the city with her friends and practicing in her new role as an aunt to her nephew.

BIT helps clients from government, nonprofits and the private sector to improve people’s lives through our empirical problem solving and deep understanding of human behaviour.
Challenge Works designs and runs challenge prizes to spark innovation in science, technology and society.
