I joined the Future Voices Group to help the Youth Futures Foundation show decision-makers what the transition from education to a career actually feels like today. Having navigated both the university route and professional vocational training, I have seen exactly where the system supports young people and where it leaves them feeling stuck.

Currently, I work as an analyst at a tech consultancy while continuing my professional training. My background in data helps me look beyond the surface of youth unemployment, allowing me to translate lived experiences into the evidence-based insights needed to drive real policy change.

I am driven to represent the overlap of diverse heritage, immigrant family histories, and varying socio-economic backgrounds. These are more than just advocacy points; they are my own lived experience. I want to ensure our backgrounds are recognized as assets, so no young person is held back by their starting point!
