Radha Tailor has first-hand knowledge on how a public school education and experiential learning can promote student excellence. Radha learned cursive writing in Grade 1 and memorized multiplication tables using beads. Now, she uses technology for enterprise workflows and complex structures.

Radha is a reporter and digital marketer with the online news media Bramptonist, and a former Rogers TV Peel news correspondent. In June 2018, the Brampton Board of Trade recognized Radha as Top 40 Under 40 for “building bridges in community relations”. She teaches public speaking to youth. In addition, Radha is a STEM marketing professional.

Radha was born in Flin Flon, Man. and moved to Brampton. She attended South Fletcher’s S.P.S., W. G. Davis S.P.S., and Turner Fenton S.S., where she received her International Baccalaureate diploma. Radha participated in music, robotics, math competitions, student government, reading programs, tutoring, sports and theatre. As regional chair of the Ontario Secondary School Students’ Association, Radha worked alongside PDSB student governments to advocate for youth leadership and education. She received her B.Sc. mathematics from Queen’s University and her post-graduate in journalism from Humber College.

Radha knows that many youth do not have the same access to technology, materials, extra-curricular activities, accessible teaching staff and smaller class sizes. She understands how the right tools promote student success, and will fundamentally advocate for students to have the safe, nurturing, positive environment needed to excel in the modern age.
