Professional Experience: |
I have worked in the voluntary sector in various roles. As a community development worker, my passion is to create change in the community. I founded Sharpen Her: the African Women's Network as a platform to build the capacity of African women in areas of employment, education and entrepreneurship.
I am trained in group work, with a Diploma in Group Work and Counselling. In addition, I have vast experience of delivering group work, with particular focus on refugee and asylum groups where issues like language, culture and diversity exist. I understand that groups are formed of individuals who are each unique and that no two groups are the same. This means there is no formula for working with groups. I am therefore open to different ways of working, taking on different roles as dictated by the situation and creating equal opportunities within that. Sharpen Her has international chapters which mean that the environments are different and therefore raises the need for flexibility and adaptation to suit each environment. I can work globally.
