Angelique is a Literacy, Language and Numeracy Specialist who has had significant experience with students who have a variety of learning challenges and disabilities.

Angelique believes that it is possible to overcome our challenges and barriers that we need to in order to achieve our goals with support from those around us, she believes in taking small steps to reach the light at the end of the tunnel and that the learning journey is the most important part of the destination. Angelique believes that the best thing about training is when her students have "lightbulb moments" and hearing how her students have applied their course knowledge in the field. Angelique brings a unique approach to training by using life experiences, relating theory to practice and uses humour to ensure that her students journey is fun yet practical and engaging even when you least expect it.
