Mandy’s personal experience of the criminal justice system convinced her of the need to support prisoners with greater access to education and opportunities for self-improvement.
Upon her release from prison, Mandy returned to full-time study and obtained a BA(Hons) degree in Politics, Philosophy and Economics (PPE) from King’s College London, where she also served as trustee for the Students’ Union (2016-17). Mandy maintains a particular interest in supporting BAME women in prison and victims of sexual assault. She works with a number of organisations to promote reform in the British criminal justice system and improve the prospects of current and former prisoners.
Mandy joined PET as a trustee in 2020.
