Nesta is an innovation foundation. For us, innovation means turning bold ideas into reality and changing lives for the better. We use our expertise, skills and funding in areas where there are big challenges facing society.
Assistant Programme Manager, Education
Kate worked on the Maths Mission programme series of projects that run in partnership between Nesta and Tata.
The Maths Mission programme aimed to improve young people's attainment in maths, interest in maths and collaborative problem solving skills.
Kate has a background in education, youth development and programme management and has worked previously for educational charities, in schools and for an international development agency. Before joining Nesta she worked as a Programme Manager on the International Citizen Service programme at Y Care International where she was responsible for designing, implementing and managing a variety of international volunteering projects in partnership with YMCAs in West Africa and Bangladesh.
Outside of work Kate enjoys playing netball, being part of a book group, and escaping the city on weekends to the countryside!
