During my time I have gained a level 3 qualification in children and young people in care and I’m currently undergoing an Education and teacher training course to further my knowledge. My younger sister is autistic and is a carrier of fragile x syndrome so I’ve have grown up in an environment where I have needed to help support my family and with that it has enabled me to deal with stressful situations and become resilient to behaviours and complex needs.

I also support and teach a 14 year old boy with autism and ADHD, I am fun, and energetic and can remain calm and professional in stressful situations.
