After leaving University I started working with Deafblind people for the charity Sense. I worked initially in their care homes and then later in the Sense education sector where I was involved in delivering staff training and developing person centered education plans. During the 5 years with Sense I dealt with numerous emergency episodes, such as choking and fitting, which required an ambulance to attend. I was always in awe of the Paramedics interventions and how they calmly controlled and situation. So, in 2004 I decided to apply for the ambulance service and was successful. Working as a Paramedic is amazing, horrendous, upsetting, incredible and life changing (for the better and the worse). For the majority of my Paramedic career I worked solo on a Rapid Response Vehicle, attending either life threatening situations or those which could potentially be treated or referred without requiring A+E.In 2011, whilst still working as a Paramedic, I started my own web design business, ICON Web Design. I had a passion for design, a strong knowledge of IT and a desire to create my own business. Over the years ICON has changed, developed and grown into a successful web and graphic design agency. I work closely with an array of businesses, supporting their web presence and online marketing. I was fortunate to gradually transition away from the ambulance service as ICON grew and developed. I am still a registered Paramedic, but work full-time at ICON.My aim now is to develop ICON further; continue to offer high standard graphic and web design, but also provide more intense online marketing to a select number of clients. I am currently undergoing a Digital Marketing qualification which will enable ICON to provide a 'complete managed service'. Delivering web design, seo, hosting, branding, graphic design and digital marketing.
