When did you join ELBA?
May 2026

What is your role and what does it involve?
I work with ELBA’s corporate partners and schools to design, support and deliver impactful sessions to secondary school students. I spend a lot of time meeting with ELBA’s partner schools and companies to ensure the workshops, Career Insight Visits and sessions meet their needs. I am currently designing a new programme tailored to supporting SEND students and look forward to launching it this academic year.

Tell us one thing that people may not know about you
I ran my first half marathon in 2024 and raised money for BEAT, a charity very close to my heart. I will also be running the Cambridge Half Marathon again in 2027 to raise money for Papworth Hospital in Cambridge.

Tell us the best thing about working for ELBA
I genuinely don’t think I can narrow it down to just one thing, but I love the supportive nature of the entire team and their drive to bring positive change on the community of east London. It makes the work feel extremely rewarding.

Name your favourite place in east London and why
I really love Canary Wharf because of the diversity of sights and activities it offers. I absolutely love the ‘Whale on the Wharf’ statue that is built out of five tons of ocean plastic. My friends and family enjoy coming to Canary Wharf to browse the plentiful shops and have a bite to eat.

Complete this sentence: ‘The absolute best thing about volunteering is…’
…the deep sense of personal reward that comes when you see the positive impact that volunteering your time has on the local community. I also believe that volunteering massively improves your own wellbeing!
