“Aim for the moon and you`ll reach the stars!”

Maintaining motivation, momentum, drive, dedication and commitment are all qualities I aim to perfect. The world is an endless pot of knowledge, not to explore is to deprive one of skills, experience, diversity and value.

From a young age I have always had an academic mind, I craved and sort out knowledge, life and experience. Growing up I took the traditional route of school, college and university. I graduated with a 2.1 in law which I was very proud of however I still felt there was yet more to achieve.

It was time to put all my skills into practice and I began volunteering at the Citzens Advice Bureau. Here I advised on many different areas such as debts, employment, immigration, family and benefits. Exploring the clients issues, reflecting, planning and following through a case was merely the tip of the iceberg. The real reward came from the gratitude the client would express from just solving their problems. I am passionate about people being treated right and not being deprived or segregated for trivial reasons. I began to confirm that this I was in my element and wanted to become an individual that can use their knowledge to help safeguard and improve people’s lives.

I wanted to become a well rounded person and acquire further skills which would aid my progression in life. This is where I took the next step into the Birmingham Leadership Foundation. From this opportunity I met likeminded people who wanted to help create a better future for the youth of today. We all felt that we saw there was a great need and it could no longer be ignored hence our group, One Shot was formed. Our aim was to help young people to present their goals, aspirations, entrepreneurial ideas in front of a panel of experts, business professionals and community leaders. From this stage we aimed to secure training, work experience or advice and guidance for the young people. This platform was created as a spring board for any young person aiming to break down any boundaries!

I am know aiming to expand my knowledge into the realm of Governance. I want to be able to develop further so that I may make decisions, influence frameworks and learn more about myself and how to help others.

Focus Dedicate, Aim, Achieve Greatness!
