About Me
I have been working as a speech therapist and as a special need assistant.I have 7 years experience in these areas, working alongside other speech therapists, health care professionals and also by running my own private office in Tunisia.
I have taken a year out from my work to study and improve my english, as my goal is to further my career, by applying for a Speech and language Therapist Assitant position before making my degree equivalent in the UK.
I am eager to learn new skills,improve my knowledge and I feel I can easily adapt to new challenges.
