These questions didn’t just stay in my head. They drove me to action. By age 15, I was managing the social media accounts for my school’s student council, growing our Instagram following by 40% in six months. At 16, I produced a short documentary on food waste in our canteen that was screened during assembly. At 17, I started a small newsletter for my CCA—not because anyone asked me to, but because I saw that information wasn’t reaching the right people.

One campaign (“Meet the Makers” – 5 short reels featuring young artists) reached 15,000 accounts organically. The collective received 12 new volunteer sign-ups directly from that campaign.
