Volunteering experience
- Girls Only Skate Event Coach 2024-09-Current: I host a Girls-Only skate night at my local indoor skatepark. I organise these events, and coach skateboarding voluntarily as well. I organise the events on social media, and I also film and edit videos for the account. This has sparked a lot of interest, and it helps many women feel confident in male-dominated action sports.

- Stagecoach, Volunteer, 2019-08: During the summer I also helped out a summer school with Stagecoach, where children aged 4-18 had just five days to prepare a show and perform in it. I helped by looking after the children, making costumes and assisting in different workshops.
- S.T.R.I.D.E., Participant, Northwich, 2017-09-2018-09: During my time at college, I took part in a scheme called S.T.R.I.D.E., where we went to different primary schools across Northwich and taught them about the dangers of drugs and alcohol.
- BUDDIES, Volunteer, 2017-09-2018-05: I spent a year volunteering for a youth club called BUDDIES, for 13-26 year olds with learning disabilities. I helped by singing, playing sports and doing crafts with the young people.
