I try really hard to stay positive, and I think doing that has helped me stay resilient since the pandemic hit. I would say that the last few years have been difficult, but I am excited for where this support with Beam could take me.
I have an expired SIA licence, and experience in hospitality, but I lost my job due to the pandemic at the same time as my landlord tried to increase my rent. I ended up losing the flat, and as I have some ongoing issues with my family, I'm unable to rely on them. I really appreciate the help I am getting from Beam and supporters.
I have a Maths degree and I'd love to be able to use my skills to become a teacher one day. I know that this can take time though, so I am applying for a few voluntary placements and would like to develop my career in security further in the meantime.
