    “With experience in Communications and a minor in Psychology, I understand the power of self-expression and the importance of building inclusive communities. Coming from a mixed ethnic background and living in a country different from where I was born or raised, I value diversity deeply and lead Upgoal Foundation with a commitment to ensuring everyone feels seen, heard, and included.”

  • Executive Director and Co-Founder

    " As a Paralympian, I know what it’s like to start from zero—through pain, doubt, and fear. But every small step can take you further than you ever imagined."

  • Operations Director and Co-Founder

    “As a Life Coach, I have helped a lot of people connect with their goals in different ways. I understand the importance of setting goals and working towards them, and I am here to support more people and help walk them through their hard times”
