I have worked with young people now for 32 years, mostly in jobs that have involved supporting 16-25s into education, employment or training. I love what I do and seeing the young people I help move into their first job or starting a college or training course makes me really happy. It’s a great feeling seeing someone I’ve supported move forward – anything from going on a new bus journey or going to a new place to starting work or college.

When I’m not in work I love going to gigs, listening to music, watching films (a lot of horror), cooking and growing fruit and veg on my allotment.
