Maria says:

Moving into Assistive Technology field, I hope to be able to help people maintain some independence with everyday tasks that are normally taken for granted. My experience of working within the Barnsley Assistive Technology Team has been gratifying and uplifting. It feels me with great joy every time I see the direct impact of the improvements to client’s lives as soon as our devices are put in place.

I hope to grow within my role and bring forth differences to lives’ of our clients.
