Summary

I am a dedicated individual with a strong commitment to empowering others to reach their full potential and lead independent, fulfilling lives. While I do not possess formal qualifications in health care, my extensive experience as a Quality Auditor has equipped me with transferable skills.
Previously, I have had the opportunity to support children with disabilities in high school orchestral groups, assisting them with aspects such as movement, tonal range, and playing instruments. Additionally, I have been actively involved in helping a family member engage more fully with life by developing a structured timetable to enhance their communication skills and supporting their physical well-being in accomplishing daily activities, including cleaning, cooking, and medication management.
These meaningful experiences have inspired me to explore a career in social care, particularly within the field of occupational therapy. I am eager to contribute to the lives of others in a positive and impactful way.
