I'm responsible for managing our school partnerships and ensuring the team delivers safe, high-quality programmes that create meaningful impact for every school we work with. I collaborate with the team to define our strategy and develop innovative volunteering experiences that are truly engaging for young people. I'm also preparing for our expansion into new areas of London, ensuring we maintain the same excellence our schools have come to expect as we grow.

I hold an International Relations degree from Warwick University and a Master's in Social and Public Policy from the London School of Economics, with a focus on education policy. With over five years of experience in operations, project management, and team leadership, I've worked with a range of young organisations and start-ups. Most recently, as Head of Operations, I led operational scaling and internationalisation, aligning multiple teams across departments to ensure smooth communication and strategic success. I'm driven by a desire to make a positive impact and bring maximum energy to everything I do.

I began volunteering at 14 with Save the Children, which opened doors that led me to become a regional representative for Amnesty International at 16 in Italy. My journey took me to India with the World Challenge and even to the stage at the Global Food Innovation Summit in 2017, where I had the honour of introducing President Barack Obama.

Volunteering as a young person defined the trajectory of my life and gave me purpose. It built skills that are fundamental to my work today, created incredible memories of making real change, and empowered me to stand up for what I believe in and spread kindness every day. Having experienced first-hand the transformative impact volunteering can have on young people, I consider it an honour to help create these opportunities for others.

My favourite event is actually quite a simple one. I brought a group of primary school students to a local care home to sing songs they'd been practising that term. The care home asked if we could repeat the performance on different floors so all the residents could have the opportunity to listen, and the community leader organised it beautifully - he really knew who needed to hear it most.

From the very first song, the residents, staff, and even the teachers all had tears in their eyes because it was so moving. When we were in the corridors, residents came out of their rooms and started to dance. We ended by surprising a resident in her room whose birthday it was, and she was so overjoyed that she began to cry. It was very meaningful and very special.
