Aayah obtained a first-class degree in Psychology from Queen Mary University of London. She formerly worked as a teaching assistant, where she ran Speech and Language Therapy (SALT) sessions and worked closely with children on the SEN register. It was here that she piqued her interest in pursuing a career that advocated for children to receive the necessary support to optimise their learning and development. In her free time, Aayah enjoys baking and is an avid traveller.
