Raiesa Choudhury

MA SOCIAL JUSTICE, UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON

I have worked in the third sector for the past five years, specifically for education charities. Young people in schools face infinite pressures and I often work with those who are not reaching their full potential. My aim is to build their confidence and skills for when they leave school and go into the world, which they will inherit, with motivation and purpose. I truly believe education is the foundation to bettering people’s lives and that this scholarship opportunity can help me contribute towards a fair society where individuals and communities can thrive without hindrance because of race, class, gender or indeed religion.
