In high school, I wasn’t always academically clever where I didn’t achieve my GCSE English or Maths so I resat the year in A-levels, leaving me a year behind.
I ended up choosing 3 A-levels which wasn’t my first choice giving me limited options when leaving POST-18. I applied for a childhood studies course at university which my parents weren’t happy with coming from an Indian household they wanted me to go into nursing or healthcare. On the day of the results, I suddenly declined my offers. I wasn’t ready for university. Told my parents who were absolutely disappointed and lost faith in me. The only option I had was an apprenticeship. I did this for 2 years as a teaching assistant. Applied to university again to become a teacher. After, graduation I went into charity work where my passion grew and grew after volunteering for 3 years while at university. volunteered in India twice and America 1 for mix projects. I started working with a local charity called Spark! where I was able to give back and inspire the next generation in their career options. I loved the sector and enjoyed helping YP discover different options for their careers as I had a tangent one. I’m now a project manager, enterprise volunteer, trustee, mental health blogger and mentor. I mentor a group of pupil premium girls as a alumni in my old high. I’ve always been a giver and love helping others become successful in their own light.
