I am passionate about giving back & supporting local charities
I was nominated for a King’s Award recently due to my extensive contribution towards groups and individuals who are disadvantaged, at risk or vulnerable. If you come from a place of empathy and compassion, it makes sense to use those natural attributes to support the work done by charities.
I have had the pleasure of working with and supporting many amazing charities, giving them my time and energy. When I was a student with no work experience I was at a loss as to how to build up my experience and develop my portfolio. Working free of charge felt like a strange concept until I embarked on my life-long mission to create change, make a difference in the lives of others and to learn from those experiencing discrimination (for various reasons, and in a number of contexts).
I am blessed to have developed invaluable skills within these charities who have trained me and continue to provide learning, development and healing opportunities.
