About

I have over two years direct experience in careers guidance, currently working as a Careers & Progression Officer at EKC Sheppey College. In this role, I deliver one-to-one guidance sessions, run workshops on CV writing, interview skills, and career planning, and work closely with employers to create progression opportunities for students. I was honoured to receive a student-voted Careers Progression Award, highlighting my ability to build rapport and deliver impact. My earlier roles including quality control, events management, and logistics have strengthened my organisational skills, communication, and adaptability. Working in both the UK and the US has helped me engage confidently with people from diverse backgrounds. This varied experience gives me a strong foundation for supporting students who may be unsure, disengaged, or lacking direction. I ve also completed CPD in Gatsby Benchmarks for Careers Guidance, Quality Management, and Remote Team Leadership, showing my commitment to continuous learning and upholding high standards in careers education. Altogether, my background equips me with the knowledge, empathy, and practical skills to thrive as a Careers Advisor and help individuals navigate their next steps with confidence.
