Lucy is a qualified teacher, an education explorer, and an international education consultant. She taught science and psychology at a secondary school in London for three years before turning her sights to research and policy, and gaining a distinction in her Master of Education at the University of Cambridge.

Since returning from her ground-breaking trip around the world’s ‘top performing’ education systems, she has published a report on teacher career structures for IIEP UNESCO, advised the UK government as part of a working group on teacher workload, and spoken about her work at conferences in the UK, US and Sweden. She now works as part of a team advising foreign governments on education reform at Education Development Trust. Lucy lives in Bath with her fiancé, Mark.
