Expedition to Antarctica 01/01/21 - 03/01/23. At age 16 I applied to join a two week expedition to Antarctica in 2021. In order to pay for the costs of this expedition I had to raise $19,000. I did this by: cold calling and emailing influential individuals and businesses in the UK and the USA. I made a promotional video to send alongside the emails. I held talks at the local Football and Rugby stadium where I caught the attention of one of my largest sponsors and I wrote a magazine article that was published in the Bristol city magazine. I successfully raised the required amount withing 6 months and was accepted as the youngest attendee on the expedition.

Whilst on the expedition I engaged with entrepreneurs and investors, climate activists, scientists, and CEOs, gaining insights into Antarctica’s fragile ecosystem as well as learning about the urgency of protecting this unique environment. As the youngest person on the ship, the journey was not just about reaching Antarctica but proving to myself what determination and resourcefulness can achieve.

• Softball- I played regularly for a local Bristol team and separate Welsh team in the UK for 7 years. I was accepted onto the GB Olympic Softball team at 16 and was invited to compete globally for the UK. Unfortunately the trip was postponed due to covid and ultimately the UK team didn't compete.
• I ski whenever I can in France and Switzerland. I've been skiing since I was 8 years old.
• I love to cook. I find it to be very calming and fun as it gives me the opportunity to try different types of food from around the world. I also love the challenge of creating new dishes every week.
