What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to advocate for social justice, engage in meaningful work, and contribute to community development.

I am a dedicated advocate for social justice and equity, currently working as an Independent Sexual Violence Advocate at North London Rape Crisis. My commitment to advancing intersectional feminism, racial equality, and global economic freedom is complemented by my educational background in politics and international development from the University of Bath. I possess demonstrable administrative skills, honed through extensive experience in administrative and PA roles, which I leverage to support vulnerable individuals in crisis.

In my current role, I work within a multi-disciplinary team to provide proactive crisis intervention and advocacy for women who have experienced sexual violence. I ensure that survivors are informed of their rights and entitlements while supporting them in accessing essential services. My previous experience as a Helpline Administrator and as an Administrator/Personal Assistant has equipped me with the skills necessary to manage complex situations and maintain effective communication with diverse stakeholders.

My volunteer work at LWS Night Shelter has further solidified my commitment to social justice, where I provided emotional and practical support to individuals experiencing homelessness. I am passionate about creating a positive impact in the community and continuously seek opportunities to advocate for those in need.
