From Student to Valued Team Member: Millie’s Journey

At Nuvo Wellbeing, we are passionate about creating opportunities for young people to grow, develop, and thrive. One of the most inspiring examples of this is Millie’s journey—a story of dedication, perseverance, and a deep commitment to giving back to the community that shaped her.

A Journey That Started with Dance

Millie’s journey with Nuvo Wellbeing began as a student in our N-Dance Academy, where she discovered her love for dance and movement. In February 2017, her hard work and progress were recognised when she won Most Improved Senior Dancer—a moment that ignited her passion for personal growth and achievement. Just a year later, in November 2018, she was nominated for the Young Person: Greatest Achievement Award, further cementing her potential and drive.

From Student to Team Member

What started as a personal journey soon became an opportunity to inspire others. Millie transitioned from a student to a volunteer, an apprentice, and now, a Project Administrator at Nuvo Wellbeing. Through each stage, she embraced new challenges, developed her skills, and played an active role in delivering meaningful wellbeing programmes to the community.

A Recognition of Impact

Millie’s hard work and commitment to making a difference didn’t go unnoticed. This year, she was shortlisted for the Community Impact Award at the University of Sunderland Apprenticeship Awards 2025—an incredible achievement, considering over 190 nominations were submitted. Being recognised alongside advanced professionals at the early stages of her career is a true testament to her dedication and growth.

Giving Back to the Nuvo Community

One of the most rewarding aspects of Millie’s journey has been the opportunity to give back to the very organisation that supported her. Reflecting on her experience, she shared:

“Growing up, I admired the impact instructors like Bethany Ainsley and Natalie Yasmin Jones had on my journey as a dancer. Now, I have the privilege of working alongside them, contributing to the same mission that inspired me.”

This full-circle moment highlights the power of mentorship, opportunity, and belief in young people’s potential—values that lie at the heart of Nuvo Wellbeing.

What’s Next for Millie?

As she continues to grow in her role as Project Administrator, Millie is excited to keep expanding her skills, supporting others, and making a lasting impact on the community. Her journey is a shining example of how movement, mentorship, and opportunities can change lives—and we couldn’t be prouder.
