I discovered the Opportune Foundation in the exact way I hope other young people do.

As a passionate Content Creator and Youth Advocate with experience in both social

enterprises and national organisations, I had been searching for new opportunities

which weren’t simply from ‘connections’.

Instead, I found something even more valuable - the best connection I could make.

In my role as Co-Director of Social Media & Marketing, I’m committed to building on Opportune’s momentum by crafting a clear strategy and strong brand presence.

Through creative and purposeful content, I aim to amplify our mission of providing

meaningful opportunities for young people.

Creating content that engages and inspires has always been at the heart of what I do -

whether it’s interviewing my local MP, promoting community events, or publishing

uplifting stories as a journalist. Marketing and making an impact are what drive me.

I’m especially passionate about developing youth-centred content for those from

culturally diverse backgrounds like my own, and believe that our platforms at

Opportune Foundation will be the difference in how young people find work and

volunteer opportunitites.
