I believe that my life story has shaped me into the genuinely compassionate human I have become.
I was always an avid journaller, and because of this I am able to put myself into the perspective of my younger self. While this may not seem like an important ability, remembering or reminding myself what it is like to be 12, or 13 without the lens of my older self, has been an important mindset that I feel helps with my connection with my students. I also experienced a challenging childhood and because of the physical and emotional trauma that was endured and survived, my ability to empathise and connect with those needing emotional understanding is immense. The greatest impact on me though, has been the friendship and love that I have received from my husband. He has been the solid rock that has allowed me to heal myself emotionally and grow as a person. He continues to support and encourage me always. He has been a profound gift.
