A CIDESCO qualified Beauty Therapist, I began my transition into education while running my own business. I have experience of working across a range of FET programmes and services, using the relative administrative systems to support compliance with organisational governance structures. I am a contextual leader with strong management skills, I have experience of aligning resources with both programme and organisational objectives. My approach to education is learner centered, with consideration for the diverse learner groups presenting in FET. Knowledge and competencies in the area of pedagogy enable the development of processes and practices that benefit the learners in an inclusive learning environment. Using instructional leadership skills, I support curriculum development which enables learners to achieve their full potential through guidance and support. It is my aim to engage fully with local business and enterprise to ensure to provide a responsive education programmes, working to fill identified skills gaps though provision of focused learning opportunities with recognised pathways into further education and sustainable employment.
