I have a deep commitment to football and the empowerment of young girls through the sport. As a parent of a daughter who plays football, I personally invested in creating opportunities for girls in the game. My passion extends beyond just being a fan—I am actively working to make changes in girls' football, striving to increase diversity and provide more children with lasting memories and opportunities to succeed.

My role as a club secretary for a club in its first season, we already made a significant impact by helping secure contracts for six young players, showing their dedication to the growth and development of the next generation of athletes. Additionally, I am going to start taking on the challenge of scouting, further expanding my reach and involvement in the game.

I am also involved in organising elite football tournaments, known for being one of the most diverse events of its kind. These tournaments offer valuable opportunities for children, regardless of background, to showcase their skills and gain exposure. With plans to expand the tournament internationally, I pushing for global change and inclusion in football.

Living in a deprived area, myself I am dedicated to ensuring children from all walks of life have access to the same opportunities and experiences in football. With a wealth of ideas for the future of the sport and a clear passion for creating lasting change, I am a true advocate for the next generation of football players.

Let’s make the change!
