Operations and Events Assistant Business Administration Apprentice at CATCH

James grew up without the easiest start in life, but those early challenges strengthened his resilience. He used his past as motivation to push further and step into opportunities that once felt out of reach. Today, he is a Business Apprentice and keynote speaker at regional events, working to bring young people closer to leadership and decision-making. His journey has proven that you don’t need a perfect beginning to build a meaningful future. You just need the courage to say yes, even when it feels uncomfortable. James is passionate about helping young people recognise their own potential, take chances, and step into spaces they might not think they belong in.
