Upon returning to the UK I transitioned into Welfare to Work and later on to Adult Skills both of which have allowed me and my teams to make a difference to people’s lives on a daily basis. Making a positive impact and enabling people to become the best versions of themselves has remained at the heart of my career and is something I instil in my team making them feel proud and passionate about the work that we do.
