  • Description

    Hello! Greetings to one and all. I am a cheery, friendly person who loves to meet new people and offer help in any capacity I can. Having grown up in a guest house I am used to the work entailed with this, cooking, checking in, cleaning. My employment has been childcare, nursery teacher, running self advocacy groups for people with intellectual disabilities and autism, running creative training to promote equality for people with disabilities. I am self employed and my current work includes providing support and teaching for young adults with intellectual and physical disabilities / using drama in teaching skills for employment, teaching English through drama, communication skills for medical students. I enjoy growing vegetables and trying new cooking recipes. I love animals, making crafts, and dancing, being with a community that wants to protect the earth and work together.

  • What else ...

    I have worked for many years using drama as a tool for learning, whether it is to teach English, communication skills in business, training in employment skills, working through issues to gain understanding. I find this creates a fun immersive memorable way to learn.
    I also work supporting students with learning disabilities and autism and have a working knowledge of the sign language Makaton.
    I am a great animal lover and own two cats.
    I am creative and make sweets, hand lotion, dot painting, and sew gifts from coffee sacks.
    I am very practical and enjoy being useful in anyway I can.
