Kelly's story – The Real London – London Metropolitan University
Born to Irish parents in East London, Kelly's dyslexia made speaking in class a challenge and she struggled to believe in her academic abilities. She blossomed at London Met, and has become a fierce advocate for fairness and diversity in education. Now, as the head of the department where she once studied, Kelly is living proof that with determination and support, anyone can make a transformational change to their own life and the wider community. Her proudest moments? Watching her students cross the stage at graduation, especially when she knows they've overcome their own obstacles.
