Sarah Jackson

I am compassionate and enjoy working with people from all different backgrounds.

I have a wealth of experience in lots of different roles to draw on.

As well at teaching and making Stained Glass as a hobby business, I also enjoy belly dancing.

This summer I am also competing in Parallel lines ski racing with a view to progress and hoping to compete in the 2030 winter paralympics.
