Lover of the outdoors and have spent many years working as an Outdoor Instructor. I was previously a tutor working in a school for young people with Autism and Complex Needs such as ADHD, Psychosis, Schizophrenia and Trauma.

I worked in a school for young people with Autism and Complex Needs such as ADHD, Psychosis, Schizophrenia and Trauma from Nov 2016 - Oct 2023 in a number of different roles such as Teaching Assistant, Outdoor Education Tutor which included swim tutor, P.E tutor and Rebound Therapy.
