I’m excited about contributing to develop a groundbreaking programme that offers so many benefits to Wales on so many levels.

Having studied and taught Sociology, I value and understand the importance of cross-cultural experiences and how they enrich lives. I am especially excited to be part of such a programme which extends this life-changing opportunity to those who would not normally have access to such an experience.
