Summary

I am firstly a parent to 3 children, all with additional needs. I intitially trained within dentistry and spent many years within the sector. I however felt a passion to find a role that supported diverse families much like my own. I feel very driven to help those with special educational needs, which had been the big reason why, when I was made redundant during the COVID pandemic I opted to find a role doing just that. This is what led me to a role supporting children in schools, until I was needed to support my daughters transport needs. I am keen to continue a role supporting people get the help they are needing to thrive. I have spent the last few years working to understand my children's needs better and in turn advocating for them. Expanding my Knowledge at every point possible in order to insure their rights and needs. Liaising with numerous professionals a long the way professionally, both in writing and via the telephone.
