This is my 8th Year teaching maths at Alperton Community School and I am currently the Head of Careers. I feel very passionate about careers and truly believe that every young person should have the most effective career guidance to meet their individual requirements. In my opinion, the ultimate goal for every student is to contribute positively to society as well as maximising their potential, having made the correct decision in terms of their next destination. I see my role as facilitating that goal and I am looking forward to working with you in helping to provide you with a wealth of knowledge, using my own experience, to enable you to achieve your future goals when you leave the school. ‘I know that successful students become successful adults’ flourish and reach their full potential. I am keen to use my experience to enable young people to see their ability within themselves and to show them how to achieve their goals, which is why I am delighted to be working with Alperton Community School. Five years’ experience in careers and information, advice and guidance (IAG) has given me a wealth of knowledge in IAG to help individuals make realistic choices about their education, employment and training. I encourage, motivate and build every individual’s confidence, developing their skill set to suit identified goals and positively impact as many young people as possible.
