Children and Young People’s Lead: Born in Surrey
I have always been passionate about wellbeing and creative expression. During my own struggles and trauma in childhood/early adulthood I turned to the arts and it brought so much sunshine into my life. I followed the creative path and it led me to musical theatre and performing as a professional singer on TV, at festivals etc. So I know how beneficial it is to find creative community and through that, have some incredible experiences you previously only dreamt of! I wish to bring hope, optimism and practical ways for the children and young people in Nova to explore their identities and overcome any blocks they encounter so they too can continue to make their lives feel purposeful and fun!

Welsh born, London raised. From a mixed English and Nigerian household.
After my degree in Psychology, I mostly worked in schools with vulnerable students with SEN and behavioural needs. I enjoyed working 1-1 with students, supporting their mental wellbeing and helping them achieve their goals. Through working in the school, I discovered my interest in pursuing a Counselling and Psychotherapy Masters. I joined Nova because I was intrigued by their approach and commitment to growth, promoting equal opportunities and welcoming attitude towards their clients. I look forward to developing my interpersonal skills and make a meaningful impact on people’s lives.
