Summary
Throughout my professional life I have been lucky enough to experience several different working environments which have not only helped me grow as a person, but have also allowed me to discover my passion, that of working with and educating the next generation. I have worked in variety of high-pressure situations where self-belief and relying on my preparation were key factors in ensuring the desired outcomes were achieved. I have alternatively been in situations where simply listening and talking with my clients about the hardships they have faced in their lives has been the most effective treatment. I have working as part of a team, and I am also confident working independently. I now know that as a result of my working and personal experiences, that education, in particular teaching is where I can be most effective in helping future students find their passion.
