fresh face
Someone just starting
A fresh face is someone new to a field, organization, or scene—especially one who brings energy or perspective untainted by established ways.
The phrase often appears in politics and entertainment, where newcomers contrast with entrenched figures: The party needs some fresh faces on the ballot.
A fresh face may also simply mean someone unfamiliar: I see some fresh faces in the audience tonight.
