What do you love about being a 24-7 Youth Worker?
Well….I think I am going to love being involved in the life of the High School. I was deputy head girl at my school and I am passionate about seeing teenage girls develop well.

What was your reason for getting into 24-7 Youth Work?
There are many young girls who struggle with adolescence. It doesn’t seem to matter what your background or upbringing every teenager is at risk. I want to be involved. I want to help people walk the journey. I have only just finished school but I have seen many young girls miss their potential and I want to help them reach that potential.

What would be your greatest piece of advice to young people?
To get involved in life, step out and get amongst it…..and that they are valuable.
