Summary
I am a passionate career driven student that understands the importance of time management and maintaining discipline in both studying and working. After my recent studies, I now have free time to engage both in part-time study and work. The interdisciplinary work between different fields of healthcare has strengthened my understanding and ability to work with a range of different people and also improved my teamworking skills. Working with different participants as a disability support worker has only increased my desire to help positively impact people's lives.
