Summary

I am a hard working individual, conscientious, and friendly.

I am well organised and enjoy working under my own initiative as well as in a team environment.

I love working with young children and being a special part of their early years into education.

I have empathy in the bucket loads and always root for the under dog!

In my spare time you will find me with my family, out walking with our dog and making memories.
