Angelica is a global youth affairs leader, advocate, researcher and speaker. She served as the Australian Youth Representative to the United Nations in 2022 and is the current Oceania Youth Advisory Representative to the World Federation of United Nations Associations.  

Her work as a Convenor of the African Australian Youth Suicide Prevention Committee has helped her explore what wellbeing looks like for her own community in Western Sydney. She is the host of Impact Studios’ exciting new podcast, Sink or Swim, which comes out in September.  

When not immersed in advocacy and research or learning to swim, Angelica can be found teaching her puppy to roll over and high-five in Blacktown’s local parks.
