What do you do at Carefree?

I collaborate with the Youth Work team to deliver engaging and positive activities that empower young people to reach their full potential. Together, we focus on fostering meaningful connections and creating supportive environments that help them thrive personally and socially.

What do you like about working at Carefree?

I enjoy being part of a team that shares the same ethos and values as I do. I appreciate the continuous learning I gain from my wonderful colleagues and the young people I spend each day with. 

Can you say a bit about your past experience and qualifications?

Since leaving school, my experience has always revolved around people work. I’ve enjoyed roles in some amazing cafes before diving straight into Youth Work delivery. Now, I’m exploring different avenues to discover what I’d like to specialise in as I continue this journey.

What do you enjoy doing when you are not working? 

I’m a big fan of the outdoors and love exploring new places. Cooking with seasonal, local produce and connecting with my Latvian roots also brings me joy. In my free time, you’ll find me by the sea, running, doing Pilates, or spending time with my loved ones—often while indulging in a good cup of coffee and listening to some indie music.
