I am a creative, patient and personable professional with a broad background in employability, training and guidance. I work well in high-pressure, customer-facing environments and have developed a natural, clear style for communicating to groups and individuals without sounding like a lecture. I enjoy creating engaging multimedia resources, speaking to diverse audiences, and helping people progress through practical, coaching-based support. Currently I balance part-time work with volunteering as Social Media Officer at the Liskeard & Looe Foodbank and campaign activity with Reform (South East Cornwall). I am comfortable in front of learners and listeners alike, and I value thorough preparation, active listening, and a methodical approach to problem solving. I’m also adept with multimedia technology and consistently maintain and grow my personal caseloads while building collaborative links with local service providers.
