BOARD MEMBER

CO-FOUNDER AND PROGRAM DIRECTOR

Margot qualified as a solicitor in the UK in 2014. Her own struggles with navigating the path between education and employment sparked a passion for figuring out how that path could be smoother for others and whether it could be done experientially.

In service of that goal, Margot began gaining volunteer and work experiences connected to her vision. She served as a volunteer at The Mirrors Programme’s Super Camp and as a volunteer youth Life Coach. This led her to a full-time role as Office Manager at The Mirrors Programme. She then moved to Youth Entrepreneurship Initiative where she designed and implemented entrepreneurship curriculums in the public middle schools.

Margot has since earned her California preliminary teaching credential and is currently employed as a Humanities Teacher at High Tech High, one of 17 project-based learning schools in the High Tech High network of charter schools in San Diego, California.
