Summary
I have worked with young people and their families in various capacities for over 25 years. I have happily gone above and beyond my job specifications to continue to support students and their families alike with request for help with housing, college applications and interview techniques. I work collaboratively with outside agencies to ensure that young people are supported with any issues they come to me with. I have my own transport and have always visited families and accompanied young people to meetings with external support systems. I have attended and led countless TAF meetings and worked with parents to break down barriers to education including supporting them with their own parenting with boundary setting and mediation.
