Sufi is a youth cancer survivor with a degree in Biomedical Science and current qualifications in mental health work, with aspirations towards studies in psychiatry. She is passionate about advocating for young people to improve their experiences within healthcare services. Sufi was co-chair on the Victorian and Tasmanian Youth Cancer Action Board, with the Victorian Youth and Young adolescent service at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre. 

Sufi has been part of many co-design projects where she has helped develop age-appropriate resources and programs, providing a solid understanding of the challenges that young cancer patients face. She is particularly interested in investigating the barriers that patients with diverse backgrounds face when navigating the health system. As someone with a mental health diagnosis, Sufi is also able to advocate for young people in this population.
