Summary

Throughout my career I have strived to achieve my personal best, fulfilling my goal of supporting young individuals to reach their full potential. As a dedicated teaching assistant and a parent I thoroughly enjoy supporting young students to achieve their ambitions and career goals. My wealth of knowledge and experience in the education sector has given me a deeper insight into the realities of teaching and has trained me into being a better support worker for the students and teachers.
