My Summary

My Experience

Over the years, I have gathered a wide range of experience working with children and young people in various roles, both paid and unpaid.
• Trainee Nursery Assistant: I received formal training in childcare, which included supporting the care and early education of children aged 0-5 years. This role deepened my understanding of child development and provided me with the practical experience necessary for working with younger children.
• Lead Volunteer, Skills & Volunteering Cymru (SVC): I delivered group sessions for young carers during the Covid-19 pandemic, providing them with the opportunity to engage in activities they might not otherwise have had access to. This role allowed me to develop strong leadership skills and a deep understanding of the unique needs of young carers.
• Senior Project Worker, Quarriers Stopover Project: I provided frontline support to vulnerable youth aged 16-25, including offering emotional support, guidance, and access to essential services. Through this role, I gained extensive experience in crisis management, trauma-informed care, and multi-disciplinary collaboration.
• Freelance Yoga Teacher: I have led yoga sessions that promote physical and mental wellness for people of all ages, tailoring my approach to suit diverse needs and fostering a sense of community and well-being.
Additionally, I have volunteered in various capacities, including as a Mental Health Text Responder for SHOUT, Student Mentor at Cardiff University, and First Aid Volunteer at St. Andrew's, all of which have strengthened my ability to support individuals in both everyday and crisis situations.
