As an experienced mental health advocate for some of the largest charities and NHS trusts in the UK, I am passionate about mental health rights and the value of lived experience. Whether it’s strategy and planning or panel discussions and webinars I have the communication skills, knowledge and enthusiasm needed to deliver. The NHS administrative roles I have undertaken have helped to strengthen my organisational skills and given me a clear understanding of public sector structures. This has enabled me to effectively amplify the voices and experiences of young people in CAMHS hospitals. I am currently a first year undergraduate student at University College London’s world leading Institute of Education. Whilst studying towards a BA Education Studies degree, I continue to advocate for young people with mental illnesses who fall though the gaps and push for them to receive better quality education.

In May 2022 through my work with Mind Charity, I had a meeting with the Secretary of State for Education. I shared my experiences & made suggestions (many of which he thought highly of and took on board)!
