I'm currently working at a creative producer in the outdoor arts sector. I moved to Bristol 1.5 years ago to pursue music and circus, and have been looking for a volunteering role to contribute to the city that has welcomed me so well.

Before being roped into producing circus I was working towards becoming an Art Therapist after completing my degree in Fine Art practice. Though I love my job I am missing working in an environment that's about service to others, so I'm keen to begin giving some of my spare time towards this.

I have previously volunteered as a classroom assistant and mentor for young refugees with Kent Refugee Action Network. I juggled these roles on and off for around 4 years and loved to be a part of the organisation. For two years I supported young people with mental health difficulties and special educational needs at the University for Creative Arts, Canterbury. This was the most rewarding work I have done to date and I identified early on that I had natural abilities in areas of personal support.

I'd love to volunteer with an organisation that serves vulnerable people, and I'm very open to whatever roles might be available. Of course the arts is an area I know well so can contribute plenty from my working background!

My work as a producer means I'm the organised person helping to hold everything together amid commotion.

In my spare time I'm quite social, I like to draw and paint, make music, read, go to the gym and take plenty of circus fitness classes. Wellness and compassion is a very important part of my life, so I meditate daily and study Eastern philosophy.
