After completing a degree in English BA at UCL, Sandy set out to for a career as a broadcast presenter, quickly gaining employment at a media outlet in BBC & Channel 4. Whilst working in both roles, a chance meeting with former Mayor of London Boris Johnson at Question time, presented Sandy with an opportunity to head up a City Hall initiative aimed at connecting with young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, eventually started working as a Project Manager in the education department.

Originally funded by Boris Johnson Mayor of London now prime minister, Sandy ensured the venture could continue by building a strong corporate social responsibility PR firm and international governmental investment consultancy.
