What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to further develop community initiatives and engage with youth, fostering a supportive and collaborative environment.

I am a passionate community development professional with a strong focus on youth engagement and support. Over the past several years, I have dedicated my career to empowering young people and fostering community connections. My role as a Network Coordinator has allowed me to map and coordinate services, ensuring that youth have access to vital resources and support systems.

Throughout my career, I have successfully developed initiatives that promote life skills and community involvement among young people. My achievements include publishing an article in Parity and receiving the Young Person of the Year award in Newcastle. I thrive on building partnerships and creating meaningful dialogue within the community, and I am committed to transforming conflict into cooperation through effective communication and collaboration.
