Madi Pollard

(they/them)

Trustee

Hi, I’m Madi! I’ve had the pleasure of working with young people since 2013, predominately in careers, and the transition from High School to Higher Education. Growing up as a queer teenager in a religious household was tough, and I often found it difficult to be myself, or to recognise anyone that was like me. I am thrilled to be a trustee for Mosaic, as I feel that a safe space where young queer people can be comfortable and safe in expressing their true self is an incredibly valuable, and essential service.

​

I work at Girlguiding as an IT Business Analyst. This means that I spend most of my time working with digital projects and systems to create a smoother, better or more entertaining experience for our young members and volunteers. I’m also the Co-Chair of our staff Pride Network, which allows me to constructively challenge the organisation to look at our policies and processes, to ensure that they are inclusive for everyone. I am passionate about inclusivity, and particular on areas where intersectional identities can raise additional challenges.

 

Outside of work, I offer career coaching, strategy support and web design. When I’m not doing that, I’m usually reading one of the 1200 books in my flat, or trying to convince myself that I enjoy running.
