“I’m proud to have become a Patron of Day One as I am passionate about helping young people, specifically those from underrepresented backgrounds.

“It was an absolute pleasure to present to the generation. We all should be listening to more, the next generation. Presenting and engaging with these 18-year-olds about goals, strategies, and my journey was both humbling and energising. Taking so much away from the talk, this group were engaged, direct, and focused, with some having started their entrepreneurial journey. I left Coopers School feeling proud that I have a captivating journey to share that inspires others to move forward at pace with the compass to navigate around my pitfalls.”
