SKEGNESS ACADEMY - Key Persons
Job Titles:
- Careers Lead & Careers Adviser
I joined Skegness Academy in 2014 as a Sixth Form Learning Mentor. During my time at Skegness Academy I have completed the Teach First CELP accreditation, Level 3 Careers Guidance course and Level 6 QCF Diploma in Career Guidance and Development. I am now the Careers Lead for Skegness Academy. Prior to joining Skegness Academy I started as a Redcoat at Butlin's Skegness. Believing I had bigger and better shoes to fill I secured the role of Entertainment Officer for P&O Cruises where I travelled the world for 5 years, experiencing everything life has to offer and challenging myself at every opportunity. There I was promoted to Assistant Cruise Director, which was a huge achievement, and one I am very proud of. When I decided to hang up my sea shoes I knew I wanted to give back and inspire young people to chase their dream irrespective to their starting point which led me to Skegness Academy. I am really looking forward to help shape the future of our students and provide bespoke to support to those approaching decision time over their next steps and post 16 or 18 destinations.
