I became a Youth Voice Ambassador because I am passionate about improving social mobility and ensuring that talent, not background, determines opportunity. Apprenticeships transformed my trajectory, but I am acutely aware that too many young people with the talent to thrive never see these routes, let alone access them.

Currently, I am a solicitor apprentice at Freshfields while studying for my law degree at BPP University. Alongside this, I mentor aspiring apprentices, supporting them through applications and helping them navigate pathways into competitive careers. This has shown me how much of the process still depends on who you know and what you can afford.

As an Ambassador, I want to widen access to high-quality work experience and practical guidance for every student, while ensuring employers are supported by research to design inclusive recruitment pathways, so that opportunities go to those with the most potential rather than the most privilege.
