Your degree is just a piece of paper - your education is seen in your behaviour
(Naira Marley - 2020)
My Professional beliefs
I believe the provision of quality care, education and training forms the basis of a holistic approach for the engagement and development of all people and increases their capacity for a strong a resilient life in all its fullness.
I advocate for the unique identities and learning needs of people of all ages, and for each to be recipients of the most appropriate support and intervention to build their individual capability.
I believe all people require strong, stable, and consistent role models, who will guide and mentor them in becoming adults able to fully function and participate in society according to their individual strengths and personal competence.
