Biography
I am a lived experience lead within the Civil Service supporting individuals impacted by the criminal justice system. My work is rooted in a commitment to prison reform, equity and equality for all, and creating opportunities that empower people to rebuild their lives. Through both professional and lived experience, I understand the importance of systems that promote rehabilitation, inclusion and long-term change.
I'm particularly driven by the power of youth empowerment and early intervention. I believe that when young people are given the right support, guidance and opportunities, they can overcome adversity and create positive futures. My aim is to contribute to work that inspires change, promotes social justice and helps build a more equitable and rehabilitative justice system for all.
