Havelock North, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand
I am a high school student currently studying NCEA level 2. I have a particular interest in the arts and humanities; studying History, Classical Studies and English. I am passionate about creative writing and debating, and have been a member of the Hawkes' Bay regional debate team for the past two years.
As a high school ambassador for UN Youth New Zealand, I encourage students at Havelock North High School to become involved in UN Youth events, promoting and assisting them in developing their skills in public speaking as well as increasing their knowledge of global issues and international relations.
GirlBoss Edge: Law, Policy, Government Edition is a highly selective leadership accelerator programme for high school aged young women. Through this 10 day programme, I underwent high-level leadership training and received transformative mentoring from New Zealand's leading legal, policy and political professionals. I worked in collaboration with companies such as Chapman Tripp, and DLA Piper; and organisation's such as the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Justice - to solve real world problems. Through this incredible, life-changing, experience, I have been motivated and energised to continue to create change and innovate in the sectors of Law, Policy, and Government.
