Here’s a throwback to my #stateschoolproud days for #SocialMobilityAwarenessDay, a cause I'm championing with The 93% Club. My school in Wales gave me a lot of opportunities, which I grabbed with both hands. But over the years I’ve realised it also left a lot of gaps in preparing me for the professional world. When I was invited for an Oxbridge interview I didn’t receive the coaching others at private schools would have had, and when I made it to York Unviersity and beyond into the workplace, I felt much less equipped than others. However, hard work and determination will still get you far. I’m really proud of what I’ve achieved, grateful for what I’ve learnt along the way and feel privileged for the grit and resilience my working class roots have given me. Everyone deserves the same opportunities to succeed whatever their background, and I hope that we continue to create more equitable workplaces.
❤️❤️ Super grateful that our paths have crossed
