Summary

I am a caring, compassionate loyal and enthusiastic person. My Christian principles and ethos is foundational to all that I do. I have travelled to various countries and served people in different capacities and cultures, and this has enabled me to develop a flexibility in adapting to the cultures I have been introduced to.


I am passionate about motivating, and empowering both students and adults in my environment, as well as the staff I lead. This approach is crucial for cultivating strong relationships. My work involves safeguarding, problem-solving, supervision, and providing emotional coaching and pastoral care and support. I also offer basic counselling, interventions both on-site and off-site, attend meetings with other professionals and help to organise various meetings and events.


Additionally, I have helped to take the lead in workshops for parents of children in the Educational Needs (SEN) sector, providing valuable information, promoting well-being, and fostering networking opportunities.


It is essential for me to empower young people/ staff, equipping them with the necessary skills to enhance their confidence and self-belief. This support helps in fostering positive changes in individuals, guiding them toward the direction they need to pursue in their personal and professional development.
