Olga Fernandes.
Coordinator
I joined Brighter Futures in June 2023, after 6 years of working for the Education Department as an EAL Lead Key Worker, where I used to teach children for whom English is an additional language.
I have always been passionate about helping others make positive changes and I am so lucky that my current role allows me to do just that!
Some of my previous work experience includes work for hospitality, within the care sector and the aviation industry. I also used to work as an interpreter for various firms and institutions.
I am a native Polish speaker and can communicate in Spanish and Portuguese.
I am currently studying towards BACP Level 4 Counselling Diploma and hope to gain my full qualifications, soon.
In my free time I love reading, walking and keeping fit as well as practicing meditation and mindfulness.
