I am happiest when I’m spending time with my family and friends, travelling the world, and making and producing music! My dream for this year is to continue doing those things to make me happy, and get a full time job to stabilise my current situation. My long-term dream is to one day become the CEO of my own company but I know that getting back into stable full-time work is an excellent first stepping stone to getting there!
Before Covid-19, I felt as though I was at the top of the ladder! I was working hard and renting my own flat - I was happy. However, when the pandemic hit I lost two jobs within 7 months and I struggled financially and became homeless for the first time. I had to leave my flat and move into a shared house which has been a difficult experience. I was assaulted while in this accommodation which left me hospitalised and forced to move to a new place so it’s been quite an unsettling few months. I recently moved into a new shared accommodation and hope I can now rebuild my life and focus on my future.
Despite the setbacks of losing two jobs and my home, I’ve been trying to put my head down and get myself back on track. I’ve been completed my Level 2 training in both business administration and user IT skills, and started to teach myself to code in Python and HTML which has resulted on a place on the Devnet skills course! I’m determined to get myself back on track and I’m excited at the prospect of being able to train to become a security guard through Beam and play my part in keeping everyone safe. I speak six languages, and 3 fluently so I can't wait to use my language skills to communicate with people who struggle with English and ensure they are kept safe too - I know I'll be able to make a difference!
