Summary

As an autistic individual, I am deeply passionate about cultivating supportive and accessible environments for others and so I would love to join Fort as an admin support assistant. I possess an in-depth understanding of ADHD and autism, as well as, creative fields such as the tattooing industry, aligning me well with the identity of the studio. In general, I love to bring people together in the community, and regularly organise events such as cosplay meetups. As a queer person, I have also been actively supporting the LGBTQIA+ community since the age of 15, and have consistently supported the wider local community through sustained charity involvement (such as, Treehouse, Cancer Research, All Dogs Matter, RNLI and Crisis). This experience in addition to my education in counselling, allow me to be confident with working and supporting all neurotypes, communities and individuals, as well as having really strong organisational and communication abilities. I would love the opportunity to contribute to the powerful work of the studio by supporting you in your daily work and actively minimising your stressors.
