About
I am a dedicated, compassionate, and adaptable individual with a strong background in both education and care. Over the years, I have gained valuable experience working in diverse roles, including supporting children with complex Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in both primary and secondary school settings, as well as providing care in residential environments.
I take pride in my ability to build positive relationships with individuals of all ages and backgrounds, offering patience, empathy, and consistency in my approach. My work has strengthened my communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills, and has helped me develop resilience and a calm, supportive presence even in challenging situations.
Throughout my career, I have achieved a reputation for being reliable, trustworthy, and willing to go the extra mile to help others feel safe, valued, and understood. My key skills include behaviour management, safeguarding, personal care, teamwork, and the ability to adapt quickly to new situations and needs.
I am committed to continuous growth and learning, and I am eager to use my experience and dedication to make a positive difference wherever I work next.
