Baker, a chartered chemical engineer, is currently CE of STEM Learning, a provider of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education and career support to schools, colleges and community groups across the UK, a role she has held for 12 years.

During her time at STEM Learning, Baker is noted to have led the organisation through an ever-changing education, STEM and economic environment, including the unprecedented challenges of a global pandemic.

Increasing the organisation’s income by about 300%, Baker’s focus on demonstrating impact enabled STEM Learning to increase its funding from government, charities and industry, providing support to every school across the UK and almost every science teacher.

She was awarded an Officer of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire (OBE) in the late Queen’s 2022 New Year Honours List for services to STEM education.
