Georgia is a passionate advocate for vulnerable people and is keen to allow people to see life from her lived experience as someone who has successfully coped with barriers that did affect her.
Georgia is 23 and has known that she has been affected by FASD ever since she can remember. She had a difficult start in life and was 15 months old when she and her older sisters were taken into care. In that context her life has also featured traumatic experiences, but there are many ways that she has been successful.
Georgia has lived with FASD and other conditions through her time in mainstream full-time education. At the age of 8 she was talking to trainee Doctors from Addenbrookes about her life and experiences. Since then, Georgia has appeared on TV in documentaries about FASD and has more recently spoken to MP's on how FASD has affected her life and contributed to face-to-face training. She helped launch the UK FASD Manifesto at the national FASD Research conference at the University of Salford. She has spoken to Steve Barclay when he was Secretary of State for Health & Social Care about living with FASD and launched the alcohol and pregnancy tool kit for midwifery teams alongside the Deputy Chief Medical Officer for England.
Georgia has featured in magazines and websites and was a guest speaker in webinars. She is the voice of Cornerstones Virtual FASD training films.
Georgia is always currently seeking ways to make more people aware of the condition and challenges that Care experienced people face.
