Talent Academy Manager

What inspired you to join OnSide? 

I believe in working somewhere that makes a real difference to people’s lives – my nephew went to our local Youth Zone when it first opened, and it was an extremely valuable experience for him – when a role came up at OnSide, I jumped at the chance!

What’s been a memorable moment you’ve had working with the team?

Taking the opportunity to visit as many Youth Zones as possible: watching the teams interact with our members and seeing how they engage and relate to them is truly inspiring.  

What was the first Youth Zone you visited and what did you think?  

Future – I had my interview there and it included a tour beforehand, which I thought was such a fantastic way to introduce someone to the network and the purpose.  

What would be your go-to Youth Zone room and why?

I’ve visited a number of Youth Zones now and always love the sensory room – I think it’s such an amazing idea to have somewhere that kids can go for a bit of time out and which supports those with special needs. It’s a very calming space for all.
