Affiliations

  • Throughout my studies I have participated in a range of extracurricular activities, balancing academic commitments with leadership roles. Most notably, as Women's Captain and Welfare Officer for Hertford College Boat Club, I organised training sessions, coordinated crews and ensured the safety and well-being of over forty members. This experienced honed my ability to work collaboratively and communicate effectively within a team. I have also been a dedicated member of Hertford College's Law society and acted as a student ambassador for the college. Furthermore, I have over five years of experience in advocacy and youth politics, volunteering with the UK Youth Parliament and the Merthyr Tydfil Youth Cabinet. Through these organisations I actively participated in high-impact projects such as Wales' successful Votes at 16 campaign, the T.O.M box project tackling period poverty and COVID-19 youth support initiatives.
