Policy & Advocacy
Advocating for policies that directly impact young people is at the heart of my work. I am committed to shaping policies that address the most pressing challenges young people face whether in education, employment, or beyond. As a youth advocate, I ensure young people are not only represented but actively lead the conversations that shape policies affecting their futures. Through my work, I make sure their voices are heard, their needs are prioritised, and that policies are developed with their input at the forefront.
This focus has led to my involvement in several significant policy areas, where I’ve actively contributed to shaping policies that better equip young people for the challenges and opportunities of the future.

I advocated for a curriculum that not only imparts academic knowledge but equips young people with practical skills for the workforce.

I advocated for providing young people with the opportunities to gain the experience and skills needed to thrive in the world of work.

I pushed for a more inclusive and fair approach to exams and assessments, ensuring they are accessible to all young people, regardless of background.

Advocacy Advocacy
Alongside my policy contributions, I advocate for young people by engaging with various stakeholders to raise awareness, push for necessary reforms, and amplify their voices in crucial conversations.
Youth Representation: I work directly with young people, youth organisations, and policymakers to ensure that youth perspectives are central in national conversations. Whether speaking at major events or advising on youth-centric initiatives, I make sure that young people’s voices are not only heard but drive change.
Collaborations and Campaigns: Through partnerships with key organisations, including the Children’s Commissioner for England, I advocate for policies that create accessible opportunities and support youth mental health, education, and employment.
Public Speaking & Media: I regularly speak at events, panels, and conferences, ensuring that the concerns of young people are highlighted in national discussions. My advocacy extends to the media, where I contribute thought leadership and share the experiences and needs of youth through interviews and written articles.
