I was elected on to my school board at the age of 13, I'm now 15 and remain on the school board as the student representative. Through this role I've had the opportunity to speak at Conferences, attend educational seminars and many more. I've networked with people from all over the country.


Youth Advocate

I'm a youth advocate, in this role I've advocated to the government on all sorts of change and do a whole lot of stuff.


Work Experience

For our schools work week when I was 14 I worked with Mayor Campbell Barry for a few days. I shadowed him and throughout my time with him he showed me what It's like to be a Mayor, I learnt about Central and Local Government and got an insight in to the long-term career that I want to pursue.
