How did I get to where I am now and what I’d like to do in the future
I originally trained as a Careers Adviser which gave me the opportunity to provide careers advice to school and college students. My roles have included a range of widening participation work such as college taster days, mentoring schemes and providing online support to distance learning students.
I gained my social sciences degree, whilst working, through the Open University. I am really enjoying my current role and hope that I will be able to develop this further.
