Our Team

Founder and Executive Director

Natalie Magness (FRSA)

I am a first-generation final-year Human Sciences student at University College London, and I am passionate about driving social impact through youth empowerment and leadership. I am Malaysian but was fortunate to have grown up in Qatar, an extremely diverse nation. This third-culture identity has molded me into a global citizen passionate about connecting with others but has also exposed me to the many hardships and injustices others face, reinforcing my desire to use my privilege to help others.

At age 12, I attended the World Innovation Summit for Education where I had the opportunity to meet Mrs. Obama. Having founded a charity concert for Education Above All, I was chosen as one of their Youth Advocates and a Doha Debates Ambassador. I was then invited back to the WISE summit as a moderator and a presenter at the Qatar Leadership Conference. During my first year at university, I served as Life Sciences Undergraduate Faculty Representative and received the Laidlaw Research and Leadership Scholarship. These experiences grounded education and leadership as core parts of my identity. I am also a keen public speaker, having spoken on these topics at TEDxYouth@NIA, virtual youth conferences in Peru and India, and podcasts including America's leading higher education podcast, EdUp Experience. Currently, I am a World Economic Forum Global Shaper in the London Hub II, Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts (FRSA), and One Young World Ambassador.

My diverse upbringing and surroundings has brought me to embrace and welcome all diverse cultures into my life. I’ve been to countless MUN conferences and have had the lovely opportunity to attend THIMUN 2022 and be a student speaker at QLC 2022 for the QYP workshop. In my school, I am the conference coordinator for our MUN club and I enjoy it tremendously! Through my debating experiences, I have learnt the importance of community and coming together especially in global issues or spreading awareness, I feel very passionate about public speaking and sharing one’s passion. I am an avid golfer who always aspires to be the best I can be, and I do voice so I sing opera in languages such as German, Italian, French and more! This helps me learn about the culture, language and become an even more diverse and open-minded individual overall. In my future career, I would like to pursue my further studies in International Relations or Brand Management in France.
