Joseph Francis

I grew up in Lincoln and served for four years in the Grenadier Guards, participating in royal ceremonial occasions such as Trooping the Colour in 2007. Following my military service, I worked for several London-based charities, where I developed expertise in community support, public service, and organisational management.

After completing my charitable work in London, I returned to Lincoln to pursue a career in engineering. I am currently in my final year of an English and Spanish degree at The Open University and have served on the Board of Education for Linguistics and Languages as a student representative. In addition to my studies, I hold a TEFL qualification and have taught English as a freelancer and through charitable organisations, supporting learners from diverse backgrounds.

Beyond my professional and academic pursuits, I am a dedicated bibliophile who values libraries and strongly advocates for universal access to education and knowledge.
