About Me

I am a dedicated and passionate Careers Adviser, working within Towers School and Sixth Form Centre.

My journey to gaining the level 6 qualification in Careers Guidance was through the apprenticeship route. That first-hand experience of undertaking an apprenticeship really helps when I am advising or talking to clients about their options.

I have a wealth of experience to draw from, with a varied career path that has seen me doing jobs from working on a banana farm to delivering management training courses for a multi-national corporation.

Working with students from years 7-13, I design and deliver a careers education programme and give one to one guidance. The beauty of working within a school setting is that I get to know and understand the needs of each student and tailor my advice and guidance accordingly; enabling students to make informed decisions about their next steps and future careers.

I take a non-judgemental, client centred approach and am impartial in the advice I give.
