Daisy is very proud to work for an organisation that provides culturally and linguistically diverse women, who represent the majority of our current student cohort, with accessible and inclusive training and education. Daisy has a rare ability to truly connect with her students in a deep, meaningful way both in regard to understanding any difficulties they are having within their studies but also supporting them as a whole person. She is someone people feel comfortable trusting and opening up to, and rewards that trust, including by actively developing connections within the children’s services sector to create opportunities for our students to succeed.
“Being from a culturally and linguistically diverse background myself, I feel I can provide holistic and empathetic support as a trainer. I work with the students in their whole lives, not just their studies.”
