  Initially took on a six month temp contract for direct delivery of personal and career development workshops to women looking to return to work. I saw the huge benefits and changes these women were making to their lives and sought external funding to continue and expand on the personal development training - as well as expanded the team from just 1 ( me!) to 3.
