ABOUT MYSELF
Experience

Experience
Working in education and care of young people for over 25 years, I gained experience in all stages of school progression starting from working with primary school to adult education included. I had pleasure to work in a number of established schools, as well as had the privilege of lecturing at the college and university level.
In addition to this, alongside education, I also worked with and supported children and young people in a variety of services, including children's homes, fostering and penitentiary system (youth offending). Always worked closely with the Police and authorities for better progression and outcome of the vulnerable individuals.
In my educational practice I had the opportunity to serve as a School Board Member for two years, and in a voluntary capacity I served for two charities to support children in most deprived areas.
In the United Kingdom I have co-authored and consulted on several accredited educational programmes, as well as developed a series of training programmes.

I hold several degrees including BA in Rehabilitation of Offenders, MA in Pedagogy including education of all ages and special educational needs, and a MA in Personal and Professional Development, with speciality of action research into child depravation and educational needs.
In addition to continuous development and study into other areas, I speak several languages which I developed a passion for, and my hobbies includes drawing and painting, playing music, collecting comics and gaming, all of which proved invaluable when engaging young people over the course of my career.

Practice
The nature of my employment and my voluntary experience over the years has equipped me in thorough understanding of issues related to special educational needs, sexual abuse, child abuse, teenage pregnancies, drug and alcohol misuse, adult and minor prostitution (both males and females) as well as homelessness.
Due to my personal and professional background I have great insight into bullying and social depravation of adults, youths and minors.
Since mid-2017 I deliver training both face-to-face and online in a form of webinars, where I share my practice and experience gained working with a variety of needs such as autism, learning disabilities and complex challenging behaviour, including criminality.
My training focuses on practical solutions, support and techniques that are both for teachers and parents alike, to be used in educational setting as well as at home.
