Hello 😊

KirstyParkinson

Hi everyone, I have attended some scope online events previously and I’m active in other online communities so I thought I would take the time to introduce myself here. My name is Kirsty . I am 38 and have spastic deplegic Cererbral Palsy. My hobbies include reading and eating food 😂. I love music too. I have worked as a qualified social worker for over 16 years. I love it but it is very stressful and I’m hoping to be able to reduce my hours this year so that I can take a bit more time and have a bit more work life balance.

I struggle a lot with fatigue and frustration that I want to do more in a day than my body will let me do.

looking forward to meeting people and making connections here.

Hello @KirstyParkinson,

Welcome to the community! It’s great to have you here. 😊 Your introduction is lovely, and it sounds like you’ve accomplished so much – 16 years as a social worker is impressive, from my understanding it's such an important but very demanding role. I hope you’re able to find some balance this year and give yourself the time you need to recharge.

I'm a bit of a foodie myself, what are some of your favourite meals?

Looking forward to seeing you around on the community, any questions please don't hesitate to ask.
