Megan (she / her)
Senior Young Advisor (2020)
Hi, I’m Megan. As one of the team’s Senior Young Advisors, I’ve taken the lead in managing our social media presence. I’ve been part of this incredible team since 2020, driven by my own battles with anxiety and depression. While I call Leicestershire home, I’m currently pursuing my PhD at the University of Birmingham, so you’ll often find me moving between these two locations and beyond!
My journey has been shaped by my struggles with anxiety and depression since my teenage years. Despite seeking support from the NHS for many years, I aged out of the system without receiving the help I needed. This personal experience has ignited my passion to advocate for systemic changes to ensure others don’t face similar challenges alone.

Outside of my YA commitments, I find solace in spending time outdoors. There’s something truly special about connecting with nature, allowing me to unwind and recharge.
