Reach Engage

---

With a background in sports and leadership, I've always been passionate about living life actively and spending time outdoors. These experiences have shaped me and inspire my passion for encouraging others to take on challenges, build resilience, and grow with confidence. 

What excites me most about working at Reach is being part of a team that is truly committed to helping young people thrive. Every day, we work to give them the tools, confidence and opportunities they need to succeed- not just in school, but in life. 

For me, there's nothing more rewarding than seeing young people unlock their potential and discover what they're capable of. Together, with a supportive and dedicated team, I believe we can make a real difference.

I love all things hair and beauty and enjoy giving students a sense of creativity and belonging when they walk into the salon! 

I joined Reach as it gave me a sense of belonging and the freedom to be creative within my work. 

Outside of work I enjoy spending time with my family, watching football, holidays and reading. Times like these remind me why I chose to join the Reach family.

I support learners in building confidence, overcoming self-doubt and discovering their potential. Wellbeing, both mental and physical, is central to my work. 

You'll often find me encouraging creativity, promoting physical activity, or helping students connect with nature.

Outside of work, I enjoy family days out, dance and yoga classes, and staying active.

I'm really passionate about helping young people to discover the joy of sport and movement- not just for fitness but for confidence, teamwork and having fun!

I chose to work at Reach because I wanted to be a part of a team where every student is supported to achieve their best, and I love being able to use sport as a tool to break down barriers and build self-belief.

Outside of work you'll usually find me out on my mountain bike, training for races, or off on an adventure with my dogs.

With a background in PE teaching and sports coaching I have a passion for inspiring students to stay active, be healthy and develop key life skills through sports, whilst building their confidence and supporting them to reach their full potential.

When the opportunity came along to work at Reach, I jumped at the chance to make a difference.

Away from work I have recently started road cycling after a long playing career in football. I enjoy a good walk with my dog and watching the footy but most importantly, I love spending time with my family!

I believe that strong relationships are central to supporting students at Reach. As a former student I understand the importance of feeling supported, respected and understood by the adults around you. Building positive connections with students helps create trust, encourages engagement and supports their wellbeing and development in a meaningful way. Outside of work, I enjoy listening to music, spending time outdoors and playing basketball. By doing these activities I get to recharge, blow some steam and feel refreshed.

 I have a background in supporting young people with challenging behaviour and additional needs. I am deeply passionate about helping every young person feel understood, valued and supported. 

What I love the most about my role is being able to make a positive difference, whether that’s supporting young people through challenges, celebrating their progress or helping them feel safe and included. I strongly believe that with the right support, encouragement and opportunities, every young person has the potential to thrive. 

Outside of work, I am a busy special needs mum. As a family we enjoy days out exploring new places and creating memories together.

I find joy in fresh air, muddy boots and helping young people grow in confidence. Whether I'm out exploring the outdoors or in the classroom surrounded by plants and curious minds, I'm happiest when I'm nurturing life in all it's forms.

I am an enthusiastic and talkative person, that thrives on understanding human behaviours and using technology as a tool to assist learning.

Since graduating with an education studies BA in 2021, I have explored several educational avenues to gain experience mentoring and understanding young people, throughout the toddler to the teenage years. 

I'm motivated by challenges and am excited to overcome any obstacles that stand in the way of creating the best outcomes for young people. 

I joined the Reach team as part of their admin team, however I have recently taken up a new role as an LSA. 

I'm passionate about helping others with fitness and wellbeing, as well as being the best role model for my son.

Reach create a positive, nurturing and truly inclusive environment for each young person. Since I joined the team I've felt part of a community that is truly special and one I feel very lucky to be a part of.

Outside of work, I'm a busy mum and enjoy lots of family time. I love being outdoors, visiting new places, keeping active and the odd upcycling project!

My friends and colleagues would describe me as bubbly, full of energy and always ready to bring a spark of creativity wherever I go!

I'm passionate about making a real difference in people's lives- whether that's supporting young children or adults to grow, learn and reach their potential. That's why I chose to work at Reach; it gives me the chance to make a positive impact every single day!

Outside of work, You'll usually find me outdoors- I love fresh air, swimming and adventures! If I'm not outdoors, I love getting creative with new projects and ideas.
