British Sign Language Communication Support
Assistant and Deafblind Communicator Guide
Background Information
Having worked in customer service my whole working life, I have met all kinds of unique people, I have wanted to push myself to become a BSL interpreter. I have helped my mum and dad with majority of their appointments, and have now got a real taste of the career I want to be in. I am passionate and focused and have shown this by working my way up to Assistant Manager within 2 years and only being 20 years old.
How did you come to choose to work alongside the Deaf/Deafblind?
Both my parents are Deaf and watching them struggle with everyday things has made me want to become a BSL Communicator.
Hobbies and Interests
I like to go on spontaneous adventures, taking long walks and going out with my family. I really enjoy playing sports, especially summer sports like rounders. I haven't been around the world much, so I would really like to visit more countries around the world like where my Granddad is from in Mauritius.
