Teaching is my favourite part of the role, I love being able to help people reach that lightbulb moment in class! I also enjoy being able to inspire the next generation of Residential workers.

I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience of animals with students and seeing a learners journey as they make progress. The best part of teaching the course would definitely be the experience we offer learners, it's a unique and hands on way of developing their knowledge of working with animals.

Even though I only work with learners through distance learning, it is possible to establish a rapport with a learner that has been assigned to me – it is wonderful to help a person develop their confidence through the many distance learning awards we have on offer and to watch their work go from strength to strength.

No two days are the same when working in the Animal unit. I love looking after all the animals, and there is such a community feel around the College, like we are one family.

My favourite part of my role is helping students take the first step towards fulfilling their ambitions to go to university and, eventually, progress into their dream careers.  Students often say that returning to education has given them more confidence in themselves, which makes me feel extremely proud.

The most satisfying part of my job role is inspiring students to have the confidence to become beauty therapists and work in their dream careers.
