She has a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Cambridge and worked for several years in medical research before moving into the field of education.
Before retiring, Helen was a director at Cambridge University Press and Assessment where she had strategic overview of the development of international curricula and assessments; and was responsible for setting standards for GCSE and A levels for an exam board.
She has also acted as Chair, trustee, and treasurer across three charities.
