Accomplishments
During my time as an Inclusion Assistant I spearheaded an initiative to publish a book of short stories written and illustrated by the students.
I was sponsored by Northampton General Hospital to undertake adult nurse training. I wasn't able to complete the training before I had to leave to care for my son, however I received glowing reviews from all my placements and mentors and continued my studies with The Open University.
