Hi I’m Becky and I joined Sport 4 Life in September 2023 after previously working as a sports and dance teacher in a primary school. Before I started teaching, I attended a performing arts school where I studied dance. Whilst attending BOA I was fortunate enough to dance at many events including Wireless Festival and Free Radio Live. After attending BOA I knew I wanted to pass my skills on and get into teaching and that’s exactly what I did. After working in schools for 9 years I felt like it was the right time to move on and that’s where I found Sport 4 Life.
I decided to join Sport 4 Life as their values really stood out to me. Due to my previous job, it is my passion to help young people fulfil their full potential and that’s exactly what Sport4Life does.  I am really looking forward to getting stuck into my role as an education and skills trainer to pass on the skills and knowledge I have learned over the years of being a teacher.
A fun fact about me is that I used to do ballroom and Latin dancing and was 3rd  in the country in my category.

Hi, I’m Nimra and I’m excited to join Sport 4 Life as a Service Development lead. My role includes looking at Operational processes and seeing how we can improve those to support the Young People whom we work with.
I’ve spent 3 years working in the recruitment business, supporting people of all ages to secure sustainable employment and dealing with barriers that have challenged me to think outside the box. I’ve supported individuals experiencing mental health issues, homelessness and those who want to simply improve their confidence.
However, I’ve always had a passion to support young people and I’m eager to get back into this and help in any way that I can. I understand first hand how difficult it can be to navigate the world when you haven’t followed the “normal” route to employment; having taken a gap year after college, I started working with schools to improve their processes and mentoring students with behavioural issues. At 18, I led a team of 15 volunteers in an Academy to do the same, so I have a good knowledge of the barriers young people may be facing.
I’m excited to work with Sport 4 Life and see the positive difference our team makes every single day.

Hi, I’m Marni. As an Employability Mentor with Sport 4 Life, I support young people in building the confidence required to chase their dreams and live their best lives.

My career began in education as a tuition centre manager and a primary school teacher. Those roles instilled in me a deep passion for helping individuals access the skills and opportunities they deserve. My core ethos as a mentor is to push beyond your comfort zone and embrace the reward of doing hard things.

When I’m not at work, I’m dedicated to community engagement and personal growth. I love birdwatching, reading and volunteering as a Girlguiding Leader. I’m a big believer in making time for yourself, pursuing the things you enjoy and giving back to your community.

I have worked with Sport 4 Life across three different phases of my life: first as a university student, then as a graduate, and now again after recently completing my master’s degree. Each stage has allowed me to grow both personally and professionally while staying connected to something I’m passionate about.

What I enjoy most about working with Sport 4 Life is that it never truly feels like work. Instead, it feels like I’m doing something I was called to do. That sense of purpose is a huge reason why I’ve always found myself returning to the organisation, one way or another.

An interesting fact about me is that I played against Jude Bellingham on two separate occasions when he was part of Birmingham City’s academy.
