What are your hobbies outside of working?

In my spare time, I love going op shopping or to any sort of market, finding new places to go for coffee/brunch and spending quality time with my friends and family. I have a chocolate labrador puppy, her name is Penny, and she takes a lot of my time, but I love being able to go on walks and adventures with her!

How do you connect with young people?

I can create a fun, safe and positive environment by focusing on their interests, hobbies, collectibles, perspectives, whatever this might be!! I love adapting this into their supports making it more enjoyable for them.

Im’ the oldest sibling and have 2 younger brothers, so I have learned to connect with their views and passions as they grow. It is important to me that younger people feel safe and supported, where their needs and concerns are acknowledged in a way that they understand.

Growing up can be incredibly confusing, so I just want to make sure they feel supported through it all and while ensuring them, it’s okay to be authentically yourself!
