I have a varied background which includes financial services, development, childminding, youth work, arts & crafts and administration. With my own young adults having an Autism diagnosis I have also been a carer and a PAS parent for many years. I live in rural Perth & Kinross with my 3 young adults and a crazy sock-stealing Border Terrier.
In my spare time I enjoy walking my dog, watching a good box set, hanging out in a coffee shop, or doing something arty. I also love a good board game session.
I am really excited to be working for PAS, and excited to be able to give something back after many years of being on the receiving end of PAS services. I am passionate about autistic young people getting opportunities to realise their potential, and can’t wait to help PAS young adults develop the skills and confidence to believe they can find their place in the world of work.
We also asked Kirsteen to tell us one fun fact about herself – and she told us – you’ll usually find me wearing odd socks!
And how does Kirsteen describe herself in three words?
Patient, kind and daft!
