Steph’s Bio
Support Worker at Edge Group Scotland
Name
Steph
Job title
Community Support Worker - My job consists of being a mentor to young autistic humans whilst they navigate from adolescence to adulthood!
Favourite quote
"Autistic people are just running off of a different operating system. Can you imagine trying to navigate an iPhone with instructions for an Android?"
The most embarrassing thing about me
I thought Bill Nye the Science Guy's real name was Bill New Years Eve until I was 26 years old.
The weirdest thing about me
Sometimes I let my Chihuahua lick my ice cream cones.
Biggest achievement
Definitely my education! Finishing things hasn't always been my best skill! - Finally, finishing something so big made me feel like I had a purpose again!
Fun fact
I have three Marvel tattoos and let my nephew choose which ones I get next!
Credentials prior to working with Edge
Customer service, retail, fast food, motor sector, deliveries, child care and home care - the position I held the longest was a Call Centre Advisor. My favourite position was a Team Leader within a call centre.
Favourite place in the world
Italy (my dog isn't there so I get the ice cream to myself)
What do you like about working with Edge
I like that they promote a judgement-free place to work and always push the recognition of strengths first. I love the different parts of Edge around adventures and SUP too!
What I enjoy doing outside of work
Walking my little Chihuahua, reading, cooking, listening to music, watching movies, off-roading, kayaking and date nights with my partner.
What makes me different
I love learning and enjoy improving myself - So I love to hear about everyone else's coping mechanisms and share my own; while we all navigate through this world together!
