Summary
I have been a qualified educator who has been in the industry for over 20 years. In recent years, I have upskilled my diploma and have been an assistant director for eight years, during which I have covered three maternity leave covers for up to seven months.
In 2023, after being with Goodstart for 15 years, I made the decision to leave and step out to run a service. This led me to a larger service within the same company, which I spent 13 months running.
