An advocate for social mobility through education, Anish will pursue a one-year Master of Education Leadership (In-Service) at University College London, with the goal of establishing a not-for-profit organisation to support and promote mentorship for young and early career teachers, particularly those from diverse backgrounds. He has worked in the not-for-profit education sector for over a decade, and has served as CEO and on the Board of Directors of State and National organisations.
Anish commenced his teaching journey through the high selective Teach For Australia program and was recently commended for his leadership in this community through the Jane Hansen TFA Alumni Award. He was recognised with a 30 Under 30 Award by Out For Australia and the Boston Consulting Group in 2023 for his ongoing advocacy and leadership on education and LGBT+ issues in Australia.
