Interests

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION , I volunteered as a Communication Ambassador with the charity organisation ICAN in the past. I enjoyed talking to parents and carers of children under five on the importance of speech and language at an early stage. Other duties included leaving leaflets and posters in libraries, pharmacies, GP's, sports centres, schools and nurseries. I visited local playgroups and spoke to parents and give them resources like activity books and where they can find more help to support their children's communication skills.
