My studying and career journey began in the city of Johannesburg in South Africa. I studied Social Work at university and then went on to do my masters in Clinical Psychology. Before completing my masters, I had the opportunity to work in different areas of employment, working as an Account Executive for a medical advertising company, in Human Resources with a focus on training and development of staff & facilitating workshops which brought together left-and right-wing students during the turbulent apartheid years in South Africa, running my own private psychology practice, and teaching the Life Orientation subject in a school whilst working as the School Counsellor. My grandmother was born in the UK but spent her later life in South Africa. I am now coming back to her beginnings, and am now living in the UK. Since arriving in the UK, I have worked as a Student Support Assistant, as a Specialist Provision Facilitator ad now as a SUN Progression Mentor. From my experience I always tell students that you never know where you might end up in your career and life, but you just need to find a “starting point”. From there you will always discover opportunities that will enable you to find what you love to do and enjoy.
