About Me
i am an ex-nurse now working in a special needs school with children with autism and physical and intellectual difficulties. we use Auslan sign language and PECS as communication aids. i use my artistic skills to enrich the childrens lives in my care with sensory art programs and massage. i always strive to look at each persons abilities rather than focusing on their disability. the smiles i receive every day from the children are what keeps me going.
Interests
painting, sensory art, crosswords and bringing a smile to peoples faces every day.
