PERSONAL
I have 2 sons and my oldest son has ADHD. I have been through years of supporting him with
emotional, educational and social needs. I have worked along social workers to find the best course
for him and others alike.
Each of my job moves has been a job progression as I have strived to improve my knowledge and
skills. I wish to continue to study.
I am a 3rd Degree Black Belt in karate, a World Referee and teach children on a weekly basis.
