I have recently completed a degree in BA (Hons) Early Childhood Studies this has reinforced my love of working with children. My interests are endless, I have passion for the great outdoors, enjoy sports-especially team games. My perfect way to spend a day is to go for a summer walk enjoying the wonderful sights and sounds of Guernsey and summer sun.
