I am a passionate youth voice champion committed to justice, law and democracy, and to the belief that every child deserves the chance to thrive, be seen and be heard. I bring both lived and professional experience to the table, extensive safeguarding and youth participation experience, and a strong focus on reducing disadvantage and improving outcomes for vulnerable learners.

Alongside this role, I work for Local Government within Children’s Services, across Youth Justice, education and community services, including youth participation projects, quality and improvement, Police scrutiny, youth work and training professionals such as Probation Practitioners, Prison staff and social care staff. I am progressing my legal journey through a Master’s in Law, strengthening my ability to advocate for children’s rights and fair systems. My aim is to maintain a birdseye view and promote best practice and joint up work.
