Hi!! I’m Mshael.

Previously, I worked as a journalist and have a Bachelor’s Degree in Media and Communication Science and a diploma in Public Relations.

At Flourish Glasgow, I love supporting our social entrepreneurs to grow their confidence and skills — whether that’s through social media marketing, press communications, workplace culture, or helping people use tools like Canva to create professional, eye-catching content (even if they’ve never designed anything before!).

I’m really passionate about supporting others who are determined to succeed but who need a little support.

At Flourish, we’re here to help in lots of different ways — from access to affordable, healthy food, job and college applications, work experience, and building confidence for the future. For me, it’s all about creating a space where people feel welcome, supported, and able to move forward with hope.

Jen

Hi! I’m Jen. I love teaching and spent 15 years in Scottish secondary schools. I began my formal training in teaching English over 20 years ago and went on to gain my CELTA qualification with the British Council.

I believe strongly in equality and equity, and in the importance of creating fair access to learning and employment. I’m motivated by the simple idea that people should be supported to achieve their goals without unnecessary barriers. I find it incredibly rewarding to support individuals to study, move into work, and regain confidence, pride, and a sense of dignity.

At Flourish Glasgow, I teach a range of workshops including Social Enterprises: Policy and Governance, Funding Applications, Guide to Self-assessment, Leadership Skills, HR Basics, Building Resilience, Trauma-informed Practice, and Safeguarding.

Khadiga

Hi everyone! I am Khadiga. I have lived in Glasgow for more than 10 years and, during that time, I’ve volunteered with local charities and community groups.

I’m really passionate about helping people feel welcome, supported, and confident as they find their feet — whether they’re new to Glasgow or simply going through a difficult time and need a bit of extra support. I believe everyone deserves kindness, understanding, and access to the right opportunities.

At Flourish Glasgow, I’m the Office Manager and I look after onboarding our volunteers. I love being one of the first people they meet, helping them feel at ease, and making sure they’re connected to the right support and services. Creating a warm, friendly environment where people feel they belong is at the heart of everything I do
