Sophie – WA

I am 20 in June and attend The University of Notre Dame, Fremantle. I am in my final year of Preventive Health (Health Promotion) and I love it. Jane Goodall’s APE (Animals, People and the Environment) philosophy is what inspires me to continue on the National Youth Leadership Council for another year. I hope to inspire other young people to join the team so that they too can make a positive impact on our environment, animals and people. I love the quote: “Change happens by listening and then starting dialogue with the people who are doing something you don’t believe is right” – Dr Jane Goodall. I believe as a National Youth Leader we are the voice for our fellow peers and we need to create conversation and educate community members so that they too can make a difference.
