I am extremely passionate about working in a role in learning and development support as I am firmly adamant that my skills will help children reach their best potential and provide them with the skills and support needed to help them gain independence on a day to day.

To give you better insight into myself in my previous role, I worked with young people aged 11-18 in a trauma-informed unit that detains young people under a high court order. In this role, I act as an advocate for young person's needs and rights and enter them into a program that is suited to their recovery and development. My role is to help young people in their learning and secure them a vocation for when they move on from secure care.  As I am a social science graduate this enables me to engage young persons in social, and physical health education. I work with children that have various intellectual disabilities and developmental delays alongside working with children that have both complex trauma and PTSD, mental health disorders, and challenging behaviors.

My recent academic achievements consist of receiving a degree in Bachelor of Social Science specializing in Social Policy and Sociology from Maynooth University and recently receiving a Diploma in Human Resource Management from UCD Professional Academy. I also have various course certificates in Trauma Informed Care and child protection.
