My Journey: A Life of Resilience, Projects, and Lifelong Learning
I am David M. Howie— who has devoted his life to making a difference despite a colorful medical history. Diagnosed with Medulloblastoma at age four in 1987, I survived a year of misdiagnosis, a tumor the size of a small apple, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, stroke, and a five-year prognosis. This journey, marked by learning disability-like symptoms, dual sensory loss, and neurodivergence, fuels my passion for managing projects and fostering learning.
Early Life and Education
Since my early days, I’ve embraced learning and diversity, shaped by my academic journey—an MSc in Social Innovation and degrees in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics, and Multimedia Technology. My experience in the third sector and policy networks like the Human Rights Lived Experience Board reflects my commitment to bridging gaps and advocating for change.
About Me
My career spans over two decades, leading transformative initiatives across industries, from implementing systems for major institutions to shaping policy. My work centers on enabling organizations to adapt and thrive, informed by my personal resilience and altruistic drive to challenge societal exclusions.
