Jennifer Mackie
As a Film and Philosophy graduate fresh out of Southampton University in 2006, Jennifer decided that a glamorous career in advertising would be creative enough to excuse the lack of compassion in the industry. So, after some time of trying to toughen up and having her creativity quashed, she hurled herself into the volunteering arena to ultimately decide her fate. She is now an Outreach & Education Worker for Brook, the young person’s sexual health organisation, and a Youth Support Worker for Q:alliance, spending her days promoting safe sex and happy young people…as opposed to toothpaste.
