Summary
After 5 years as a dedicated Support worker in london, i have decided to begin studying at the university of reading. During my time as a support worker it not only taught me about how to care for and manage clients but also, how to work well in a team, organise my work load and meet deadlines and how to communicate effectively with anyone from anywhere in the world.
Whilst i am studying at university i still want to keep myself busy with work and use it as an opportunity to continue to develop myself and my skills.
