Hi, I’m Ivan! As a passionate change maker, I’m really excited to be a Youth Consultant for the NYA. Over the last six years, through my work with the Birmingham Youth City Board, I have grown to truly value youth voice and the benefits it brings for young people and professionals alike.

This passion has taken me all across the UK and more recently, Europe too and I look forward to sharing this passion with the NYA. Outside of my role as Youth Consultant, I also support the NYA’s Peer Review Programme as a Young Peer Assessor.

Away from all things youth voice, I am an avid reader and a huge fan of History and Politics. I love meeting up with friends and binge-watching Netflix, when the time is right, of course!
