About
I’m a founder and youth engagement practitioner with over 10 years’ experience designing and delivering programmes that support young people into work, education and creative opportunities.
My journey into leadership didn’t start in boardrooms — it started in community spaces, running free workshops, career sessions and drop-ins for young people who were often overlooked or underserved. Over time, I realised leadership in this sector is about showing up consistently, building trust, and creating real pathways, not just conversations.
As Co-Founder of DICE CIC, I’ve grown from facilitator to strategic leader, balancing delivery, partnerships and sustainability. I lead with empathy, lived experience and accountability, always centring young people in the work we do. I’m passionate about this sector because I’ve seen first-hand the impact that access, opportunity and the right support can have and I’m committed to building systems that make that the norm, not the exception.
What’s the most exciting part of being a DiNN One To Watch for you or your organisation?
The most exciting part of being a DiNN One To Watch For is knowing that my work is being recognised despite always being unrecognised, to me this makes a big difference and also being able to acknowledge and embrace the journey I, my community and organisation has gone on and using this as fuel keep going, growing and creating positive impact.
