Summary

I am a driven and highly motivated professional with considerable experience working with children and young people. I have effective communication and interpersonal skills and work exceptionally well as part of a team. I am eager to develop and progress in my career, applying my existing skills and knowledge to new challenges. I am always willing to learn and take on further training to improve my practice.

I work closely with children with additional needs, including ASD and ADHD, and have experience supporting them through challenging behaviour. I use effective strategies to help children regulate their emotions and promote positive behaviour in a calm and supportive way.
