Kate Fragkaki is a Global Business Developer, mentor and CEO of Change Ambassadors.

Kate was born and raised in Athens Greece until the age of 12. Her parents both Nigerian (Ijebu’s), decided to send her to the United Kingdom to ensure she received the best education possible as at the time Greece was going throughcrises and they struggled to provide good education for the minorities.

As Greek is her first language, she faced challenges adapting to the new culturethat was introduced to her in school as she was used to writing all her assignments in the Greek language rather than in English. She found it verydifficult to ask for support from her teachers in school due to the communication barrier. However, she has always been determined to succeed inanything she does so she ensured she ran home after school everyday to learnhow to write in the English language on her own in order for her to get good grades.

For many years, she lived in deprived and dangerous areas across the United Kingdom at the time with aunties, grandparents and family friends. She lived in places like Woolwich, Mitcham and Brixton to name a few. She shared a 2 bedroom flat with 10 people. She always said to herself that she wasn’t going to allow her circumstances to determine who she was. So she ensured that she did well in 6th form (college) where she studied the following subjects: Biology, Chemistry, Greek Language & Sociology. She was also the Vice President of her 6th Form(college) where she led the student council on how to improve students 'learning and also things they could do to improve students' engagement in lessons.

After 6th form she decided not to further her educational career and ended up doing an apprenticeship with a top accountancy firm. When she completed herapprenticeship she was offered a job with a leading engineering firm. Shortly after she joined the Nxtion Famiy where she was introduced through leadershiphow not to become a stereotypical female who doesn't push boundaries. But how to become a trailblazer.
