Hello, my name is Shikha Dogra, and I am originally from India. I hold M.Sc (IT) degree, and my passion for teaching led me to become a professor back in my home country, where I taught master's students. My dedication and commitment to education were recognized when I was honoured with the Best Teacher Award, a testament to my love for guiding and inspiring young minds. I moved to the UK in January 2024 and currently volunteer as a reader at SS Mary and John's School. The warmth and enthusiasm I received from the students here reaffirmed my desire to contribute even more to the school community. Having attended a Catholic school myself, I am deeply familiar with the Christian ethos, which is one of the reasons I value a faith-based education for my child and am committed to supporting a nurturing environment for all students. Being a Parent Governor is an opportunity for me to give back and make a meaningful impact on the lives of children and the school community.

I am Jude Kisang Asongwe, and I hail from Bamenda, Cameroon. I began my educational journey at the Catholic Primary School Njimafor before completing my GCE O and A Levels. I hold a BSc in Business Management, an MSc in Development Management, an MBA degree, an MSc in Engineering Management, a Level 7 Diploma in Strategic Leadership and Management, and a Certificate in Data Science & Artificial Intelligence. Professionally, I taught Business Studies in Birmingham for two years and later managed Digital Technology at Asongwe Enterprise in Cameroon. As a researcher and consultant since 2010, I founded Asongwe Digital Technology Consultancy and contribute as a mentor at MentorCruise and other organizations. As a lifelong Catholic, I am actively involved at St. Patrick's Catholic Church, Wolverhampton, where I sing in the choir and assist with readings. The role of Foundation Governor has enriched my understanding of school governance, decision-making processes, and educational policies.
