New perspectives on being a leader
To Aza, a leader has always been “a person in the spotlight” – someone who leads from the front. Joining UNITE has given Aza a new perspective on what it means to be a leader.

Although 2021 has had an uncertain start, Aza is looking forward to being able to begin her first year of university.
