Well... there's quite a lot I could write here but that might get boring, so here's a few things about me: thoughtful, a bit random, inquisitive, friendly, adventurous, sociable, talkative, love travelling, active, musical, laugh a lot, energetic, enthusiastic, imaginative I've done lots of work in the field of youth participation and empowerment, including involvement in the UK Youth Parliament and a number of other projects which have stemmed from that. The best thing for me was being selected to represent the UK's entire population of young people at the 2005 UN General Assembly in New York. I've written a blog about the work this role has involved: click here!
