Inez Sarkodee-AdooI love having a laugh and getting to know new people. I’m bright, bubbly and always try to smile as much as I can.

Some of my friends think I’m a bit crazy but I prefer the term different. I’m an extreme Arach-nophobia, which is basically someone afraid of spiders, eek! I’m a true city girl and love to shop and go out with my mates. I love living in London because there are so many new and exciting things to do that are just a bus or tube ride away.

YoUFA rep when I was training to become a Lead Learner because the Reps at the time seemed really cool and fun. I am now glad to be a fully certified YoUFA Rep and hopefully inspiring the next generation of Lead Learn-ers.

Being a part of the UFA has given me the opportunity to work with a range of amazing young people and adults and also to develop myself as a person by gaining many essential life skills.

For example, as the spokesperson of the YoUFA Board, I was privileged enough to represent YoUFA at the NCVYS Young Partner’s Award and put my skills in public speaking into practice.

I’m always excited to see what the UFA has in store next.
