"I am a 4th-year social work student passionate about working with youth who have been through difficult circumstances such as mental health or family violence, and who have undergone various levels of marginalisation, such as race and gender. Being a youth is a difficult time as you must balance both your own inner turmoil growing up and manage new external pressures.

So, over my years of working with disempowered youth and after coming across this opportunity, I hope to help young people the way I wish I could have been supported in the past.”

“When I was seventeen, I was involved with drugs and gangs. While facing the consequences of my actions and some very dark times, I spent time seriously considering what is truly important to me. I graduated with a degree in psychology and want to pursue graduate studies.

Right now, I want to help others because I know what it is like to struggle, and I can use my experience to relate to and guide youths who may be facing similar challenges. Since youths are full of potential and open to many different paths in their lives, I want to be a well-being mentor to guide them in the right direction.”
