Serving as a Future Voices Group Ambassador is an opportunity I deeply cherish, as I can use my voice to advocate for young people from my socioeconomic background in discussions on youth employment. Having experienced homelessness firsthand, I understand the systemic barriers that disrupt education and shut young people out of opportunities before they’ve even had a chance to begin.

I am deeply committed to widening access for NEET young people facing complex barriers, ensuring they are not written off or left behind. Previously, I worked in Talent Acquisition at a student-led strategy consultancy; built BY students, FOR students. Here I developed inclusive recruitment approaches that opened doors for young people with no prior professional experience, helping them take their first real steps into the corporate world with the skills needed to unlock further opportunities.

I currently study Sociology at the University of Warwick, where I enjoy researching evidence-based societal approaches to transforming youth outcomes.
