About Ayesha
Ayesha always wanted to change the world. By trial and error she eventually found her way…
Starting her career as a Physicist, Ayesha looked forward to a life in sandals and corduroys but moved into IT to practice speaking German. She gained an RAF flying scholarship and an RAF marksmanship (neither appear on her CV for obvious reasons).
Whilst working at Norton Rose Fulbright, she managed the diversity, equity and inclusion Muslim network promoting awareness of Islam and our responsibility to tackle human rights, climate change and the refugee crisis.
Ayesha is a trustee for the Utrujj Foundation, which believes in cultivating exemplary Islamic character to revitalise our communities. In 2019 she featured in the Emerald Network’s list of 100 inspiring Muslims.
Outside of work she is passionate about sustainable lifestyle and slow fashion, spending winter mending holes in patched up jeans.
Ayesha and her husband grow their own food, have built an aquaponics system in their greenhouse, keep free range Star Wars chickens, and half a million bees.
